All beautiful Gwen I was looking at those Phalaenopsis orchids today at the shops I almost bought a pink one with pink freckles or was it vains ? but talked myself out of it, your white is gorgeous..
Strange that about the amount of Tibouchina petals though after seeing I think it was five and six on my same shrub nothing would surprise me..
