Phalaenopsis violacea Red

This is a very red variety of Phal. violacea which i bought from Joseph Wu many years back.  Of course came with a hefty price tag.  But the color and form of the flower is superb.  Good stock for producing intense colored hybrids but nowadays it is easy to get these hybrids for a couple of tens of dollars.
