Phalaenopsis pulchra

This is a Phalaenopsis pulchra which i bought last year at the Singapore Garden Festival from YihCheng's booth.  The flower's color is a shiny deep blue-violet which is a desirable trait.  The thing about pulchra is its shape.  You got to accept it for what it is ; a flower with backward curving petals and sepals,   But it is a must-have because it is so free flowering.  This flower is on an old flower spike that produced a keiki (behind the flower).
