I found my Sarcoglottis sceptrodes at a orchid show/sale. I was attracted by the beautiful foilage and the bloom came as a surprise some months later.

Ursula, very nice sweet sixteen. I love the form.

Just before the last Apopka trip I ordered a couple of orchids from Paul Storm at Meke Aloha Orchids in Sarasota. I had been on a quest for Mcv. Frances Fox 'Sunspots' after seeing it on the web. Elaine was kind enough to pick it up for me and bring it to Apopka. It was in spike and that spike has just produced this flower. I hope you can understand why I made such an effort to get it.
