I was a judge at the 2015 Japan Grand Prix International Orchid Show and it is such an honor to observe the Grand Champion of the show along with all the amazing plant exhibits. Each individual flower of Phal. Golden Apollon ‘Apollon’ was about 12 cm (4.7 inches) in size at the time it was awarded in Japan. These plants have a very strong spike and a good flower count. I am impressed with the flower count as it has a minimum of 6 flowers on first blooming plant in 2.5-inch pot! The flower count will only improve as the plant matures. The amazing, long-lasting flowers have a diamond-dusted texture, and are a non-fading yellow canary in color on the entire flower; even the back of the flower is entirely yellow! This Phal. is not a fast grower, but definitely worth the wait. No modern orchid collection should be without this extraordinary Phal. Highly recommended for collectors interested in exhibit-quality Phals.
