Cattleya Rafael Ortiz

[Jeff214]

Here if the first bloom on Cattleya Rafael Ortiz (Sea Breeze x Love Knot) from Sunset Valley Orchids. The plant is small with large coerulea blooms. I like the yellow that's coming through on this one.

Very lovely! The second and subsequent pictures seem more pinkish. Was that just the lighting?

Thanks! It's the lighting - The first was taken early in the morning and it looks closer to its 'true' color. It does look more pinkish when I take it with a black background.

Love it Jeff! Big blooms on a tiny plant are always a winner for me.

I got the coerulea (sincorana x mossiae) from my last SVO order. If blooms look anything like this, I'll certainly be happy!
