The description on the
award form was re-worked and is below

Two charming stellate flowers gracefully displayed on a 21.5 cm inflorescence
borne on a compact seven growth plant; growths caespitose, ascending, 12.5cm
tall, obovoid pseudobulbs 3cm tall , leaves lanceolate, 2cm wide x 9.5cm long;
sepals and petals rose pink, light white halo basally; lip intense rose pink,
contrasting throat white, callus ribbed, tip ruffled; substance average,
texture crystalline; awarded for harmonious and pleasing balance of segments
and wonderfully flat form

The SITF form lists the pseudobulb form as lanceolate; based on the picture it
appears more obovoid (at least to my eyes) - the plant part of the description
was not included in the original description.
