Rlc Ports of Paradise 'Emerald Isle'
There are two more buds still to open, but I couldn't wait and I had to go ahead and post it now. I'll update when the other two open 🥰

Thank you Roberta! The color really is amazing. This is her second bloom. I don't think I posted a picture of the first one because the flower was crippled, but the form on this one is really nearly perfect. The other two buds have popped, so I'll post a pic in a day or two once they have fully opened.

I haven't kept many of my big standard Catts because they just take up so much space and only bloom once a year, and this one is particularly large and a bit of a rambler, so it really does need a lot of space, but I think it's worth it. The color speaks to me as well. I wish you could see it in person, because the color is actually even better than it is in the picture. |

Beautiful! Orchids always look better when seen in person. Photos never seem to do them justice.
I did the same thing...I now have smaller Cattleyas that will hopefully bloom more than once a year.

Wowza!
That is simply gorgeous Jeff. I can see why you tolerate its rambling nature. That color... can only imagine how it must glow when up close and personal.
How long do the blooms last?
