Blc. Harlequin 'Clare'

I haven't posted anything here in ages, though I always read what everyone else has to say. Does anyone else have Blc. Harlequin 'Clare'? I would bet not but thought I would ask. No question, just some pictures to share. Here's a picture taken last November. This is how it always looks when it blooms under my lights in the basement: http://stevewilson.homestead.com/fil...quinClare2.jpg Now compare, the exact same plant that happened to bloom when it was outside for the summer (now): http://stevewilson.homestead.com/fil...quinClare7.jpg Outside, this one goes in full afternoon sun. It gets shade from mid morning until about 1:30 PM then no shade at all until the sun sets at about 8:30. Normally I might have moved it to more shade to protect the bud but I decided to let it bake and see what it did for the color. This plant is nearly 50% Cattleya dowiana, which explains why it can take light that would burn most of my Catts to death. The next most common species in its background is L. tenebrosa at 25%.
