Just had to show my Bc. Punakea again now that all the flowers are open. This one is scented at night, showing its Brassavola ancestry.

Also my V. coerulea is developing more color as it matures, as well as the netted markings - tesselations? Hard to see in the brilliant sunshine. Brenda's has a lot more color than mine does, so I'm wondering how dark these flowers will go.

Last one is a final flower on Little Lulu. I always wonder if she has "that virus" but the flowers have always been spotty like this and the leaves are clean. They fade beautifully to an elegant ivory color.
