With 26 flowers on a high arch inflorescence and WT qualities, this selection ticks all the boxes.

In my eyes and to suit my personal preferences, this flower is the best out of this selection of Cym's that Andy has shown us. An outstanding flower in all respects.

Why - well the color on the segments is very unusual and clean, the lip is sensational and sets the whole flower off well. The shape is open and even, and the flowers present well on the raceme, with a high flower count. Ticks all the boxes and more.

Gary, you're right on the mark! It is a sensationally good flower with a fabulous lip and fully WT for a bonus. Time to hybridize in other directions, this one will remain a benchmark for sure.
