Me too, I have hopes to see a flower like that on my new little Psychopsis in a couple of years. At least it has stopped sulking and perked right up since I re-potted it.

New one opening for me this morning, I swear I've been waiting months for this bud to bloom! Things happen slowly with orchids anyway, but in winter? Glacial pace.

Terrible fuzzy shot of Bc. Little Lulu opening. It has a lot more rosy shading and spots on it this time. Hoping it will fade to pink like Mj's did. I have 4 more of these mounted on a big branch of my oak tree. They are attached, but struggling somewhat, and certainly not blooming just yet. We shall see!

Three spikes blooming away on B. Little Stars. Twinkle twinkle! So fragrant at night, DH comments as he comes in the door "what smells?". Typical.

Last shot (I promise) of my maybe Yellow Bird. All flowers yellow now, two with spots on the lip, two without. I have a spike on my Yellow Bird that has a tag, so we will have a genuine one to compare it to.

My "opal" Spathoglottis - white, yellow, purple, red - blooming their hearts out. Cold weather is predicted for the weekend, I'll have to cover them for sure!
