The first flower has opened! The lip is slightly asymmetrical but otherwise it is so gorgeous - the bright orange colour, the very fine-lined lip and it's sculptural form. So thrilled about this plant especially because I didn't think it would actually survive after buying it - see previous post
here! It also lost a few of the buds along the way so I was wondering if any would reach full maturity.

| The flower seems to be growing upside down, which makes me think that I should mount it hanging downwards |
