Portia is also one of my favorite autumn cattleyas.

Beautiful!
BTW, Des, is the name on the label written with 't' or with 'c'? I mean is it written C. Portia or C. Porcia? I am asking because the FCC/AOS awarded clone 'Canizarro' belongs to Cattleya Porcia, a hybrid of second generation different from C. Portia, a primary hybrid between C. bowringiana and C. labiata.

Portia or Porcia??
Good question Mauro. I had second thoughts and thought it might have been mis-spelled.

Wow you guys are sharp !! I thought no one would notice. Anyhow just to be sure I went into my records and found that I purchased 10 Catts from The Green Orchids Co , Taiwan for the sum of R275.00 (about $35.00) in November 1989 One of those catts is G740 Porcia Cannizarro AM/RHS Just goes to show don't rely on your memory !!
