I have a couple of questions and this seemed like the place to ask.

First, when when my shoes were smoking in the midst of the Vanda racks at Apopka, I ran across a Vandaceous orchid labeled "Chtra. Luang Prabang". I bought it just because I had no clue what Chtra stood for. I've found it stands for Christieara which seems to be Aerides X Ascocenda X Vanda. That sounds like what was left over from an experiment gone wrong. I did find a picture of Chtra. Luang Prabang and it is lovely so no harm done. The question is do any of your sources give the parentage for this orchid and do you have more information on Christieara orchids?

Secondly, I saw a picture of L. Purpurata Crownfox 'Flares' and it blew me away. Has anyone heard of it and can you give me a hint as to where to find it?
