    So I got this Tolumnia orchid on ebay. It was listed as 'Rdcm Angel Heart x Spunky Hot Spots' which is more lighter shade of red and a yellowish cream color. I received the orchid today and the flowers looks nothing like it. Maybe a mislabeled? Does anyone know what's the ID name of this orchid? Just curious. Thanks!

    It sure is lovely. It could be one of many hybrids...Genting Pink, Genting Angel and 'Nalo Beauty' come to mind but it's hard to say without a tag. Nice plant! :)

    Also, I've noticed the flowers on these tend to 'evolve' in color. I have a similar one that is really yellowish when the buds first open but as the flowers age the yellow disappears leaving only crisp white with red.

    Thanks for the info Rachel. I see you have a beautiful tolumnia as well.

    I found some pictures online and saw one very simliar listed as Tolumnia Jairak Rainbow 'Freckle Face'. This orchid may not been the one I wanted but it's still a keeper. :D
