Very pretty. Last winter I was orchid-sitting and this is one of the plants
that I sat. It is a really nice clone. Big-Big flowers. I bought a flask
of this clone from Hausermann's and so in 6, maybe 7 years I will get to see
it bloom in person again.

See the color break on the petal to the left side of the picture (or the
left flower's right petal... now have I truly confused you?) There's a more
pronounced stripe in the midrib and there's a break at the top half of the
petal, near where the dorsal sepal bends over the petal.

Have you used any sort of pesticide - systemic or otherwise - since the bud
started to form? Like in the last 6 months or so? I get that sort of thing
rather frequently and wondered if it was pesticide (which I think it is) or
the heat we had this summer or if it was (gasp) virus. Dennis Olivas says
this sort of thing often is pesticide, but I don't want to delude myself...
So I ask the question. Any pesticide use?

By the way, if you really want to get some kickass plants...well, I'll email
that to you privately...
