    This is a first bloom seedling of an outcross from Miranda Orchids. I love it.

    Thanks, folks.

    Bleecker, did you get one from Miranda too? The last few years at POE I have bought some things from him and over all have been very pleased.

    Marni, I've bought several plants over the years from Francisco and
    always been very pleased. The plants were always as described and well-grown. That Laelia is a real looker!

    Marni,
    If your flower does not reflex back, I would say you have quite a nice dayana! The typical ones have sepals that reflex badly. The color is also quite good, very nice intensity.

    Thanks Pete. Ron Parsons was here a few days ago and said repeatedly that it was the best one he had seen. He said it enough times, so I know he liked it a lot. I looked at it this morning and the petals haven't reflex at all. This could be addicting and expensive.

    Bleecker, if you remember, let me know when yours blooms, I would love to get pollen.
