I so enjoy your informative notes. This is indeed a beautiful orchid with its fine line striped petals and veiny throat petals that almost resemble the head of a hatchling. How wonderful you were able to see this rarity in bloom.

I love orchids! This is my first time seeing the Rothschild Orchid. These flowers are breathtaking! I love the lines in the petals. I find it interesting that there are flowers in the black market. Nuts but so beautiful!
