Has anyone here ever grown a purple leafed Phalaenopsis? I bought one about 2 and a half years ago and have never seen another like it! It is truly stunning with bright magenta flowers! Sadly it came nameless and the label only said 'Collectors Series'.

Here is a photo of when I bought it just coming into bud and showing the dark colour of the leaves.

Here is one where it is in bloom. When in full bloom it had 5 spikes on it at once!
