| Phalaenopsis OX Black Face 'OX 1647' |
I have a new orchid, and I am enamored. This is maybe the first time that I've bought an orchid online, and had the flowers exceed my expectation. The fact that this orchid arrived in bloom is a bonus.
These flowers are almost 4" wide, and a deep purple color. Under fluorescent lights, they look more purple, while under natural sunlight, a redder hue shows through. There is a velvety depth of color to these blooms that I love. And it seems like the orchid is fragrant as well! There is a subtle rose scent to the flowers.

I'm still working on the geneaology for this orchid, which I hope to post in the next couple of days. In the meantime, I hope some more of these flower buds will open soon.
