Fantastic Sam! I love the colours, plus the nice lengthy lip.

wow

i also enjoy this one- the palate the flared lip and the varied shape of the petals and sepals...it almost looks like the flower is set on a triangular placemat

thanks and well done

That is truly fantastic. Although every time I glance at the tread title, I see "Bill Clinton" and it makes me giggle a little haha

I googled to see if anybody had one, and that is a hard plant to find. There are very few pictures of it on the internet, and certainly no nurseries stocking it, at least as far as I could find.

Stunning colors and form. Won't comment about the name.

We know this needs to be done DeaC ........ it would go well with a C. Lewinsky

(joking only hahaha..... as C. Clinton was registered in 1923 haha).

I saw an orchid society member refuse a Bc. Betty Ford won in a lottery because she was of the wrong political party. I told them the plant was too young to vote, but it didn't matter.

Hello Shmuel,
The plant in your photos does indeed look like Brassocattleya [Bc.] Clinton (C. bicolor x Bc. Beth Eden)
It was something we offered a very long time ago, and more recently sold the divisions remaining in our collection.
Happy Growing,
Bridget Uzar

Hopefully the runner-up accepted! I only just saw a photo of Lc. Betty Ford 'York' and I should have been the runner up to receive that orchid society prize.
