Default First bloom Phal. violacea

Phal violacea ('Boden's Blue' x 'Gulfstream Blue', JC/AOS)?

That's a near cutting edge breeding line for blue flower color in Phal
violacea. Hopefully you will see flowers you can honestly call something
besides "dark purple". :-)

I have my first bloom from a flask of phal. violacea "Boden's Blue x
Orchidview "Gulfstream Blue" JC/AOS I bought January 2006.

I absolutely cannot believe the fragrance. I can taste the fireballs
when I smell it, concentrated cinnamon. T's eyes bugged out when he
first smelled it. Not what he expected.

The one with a bloom has 2 buds and ne of the sibs is developing a
spike.
