Phalaenopsis Eiderstedt

It's always a satisfying feeling when you grow a seedling to blooming size and see the flower for the very first time! I purchased this plant from This Side of Paradise Orchids August 2018 and today the the first bloom fully opened. 

The incredibly waxy/shiny bloom was a bit if a challenge to photograph. It is about the size of a loonie.
This cross is a remake of venosa x cornu-cervi var. sanguina. It is quite fragrant and best described as a synthetic rubber/leather/plastic scent. Weird but not unpleasant.
