Thanks Kathy.
I took pictures of other Orchids in bloom today and at one point I turned around, looked at the Potinara and thought it looked so pretty in the sunlight. so I just shot another quick picture without any special consideration to settings. Wouldn't you know it, the color is spot on.

Lc Fire Dance 'Patricia' today, it has a few more spikes to open, but we are slowly getting there. The Potinara ( with fairly correct shade too.... Smiling ) hangs above it.

Vanda Robert's Delight 'Black' - I have been watering plant and buds/blooms daily and started to bend the flower parts back to avoid the cupped look.

Ascocentrum christensonianum opened very slowly 2 nice spikes. In addition, a small one on a keiki has been blooming for a couple of months now and is turning pale.

This plain Dendrobium moniliforme puts out some occasional blooms every so often.

Phragmipedium Jason Fischer is blooming for weeks now, unfortunately the plant was in a too warm spot and that spike produces only misshapen blooms.
I moved the plant to a cooler spot and a second growth initiated a better spike, the first flower on that is normal! Whew!!
