» sdiegoorchidboy - Does anyone happen to know the name of this orchid?


I received a cutting of a cattleya from a friend a few years back and it has recently bloomed for the first time. My source did not provide a identity tag and I cannot find a formal name for it. The flowers white and semi-alba, approximately 3.5 to 4.0 inches in diameter in a cluster of three. The petals are semi-ruffled as is the lip which is purple with a yellow center. The leaves and pseudobulbs are large and lighter green in color than most of my other cats. I will gladly send a photo to anyone interested in helping me identify this little gem. I recently crossed it with another plant and it would be helpful to know its name if I am successful at propagation. Thanks-

Hey SanDiegoOrchidBoy! I sure hope somebody can help you identify your orchid cutting. It sounds quite lovely. I personally have no clue.

I hope you dont mind I changed the title to the thread to help more people know it is about orchids and you need help to find out the name of your orchid.

ps great screen name!
