A well grown plant with 133 inflorescences, carrying 132 flowers and one bud, fairly evenly distributed around the perimeter of the plant, with a few taller inflorescences clearly visible among the foliage towards the centre of the plant. Petals, sepals and labellum project forward, as is typical of the species. The inner surface of the petals and sepals are chrome yellow (SG); outer surfaces are off-white with brown-purple dots; column is brown lake (SG). Substance firm, texture matte. The strong brown purple barring provides a striking contrast to petals and sepals.
