Doro, did i ever tell you that i love you?

[Dorothy]

It's Guarisophleya Netrasiri Waxy

Guarisophleya [Gsl.] = Cattleya x Guarianthe* x Sophronitis

Cattlianthe Chocolate Drop occurs in it's lineage as a grandparent of both parent plants.
(Orchid kinkiness never ceases to amaze me )

Cattlianthe Chocolate Drop = Cattleya guttata X Guarianthe aurantiaca**

There are certain Cattleya which are now classified as Guarianthe* - These are -
- Guarianthe aurantiaca**
- Guarianthe bowringiana
- Guarianthe patinii
- Guarianthe skinneri
as per Guarianthe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and some laelia have been reclassifed as Sophronitis.

So if it were a Lc, it is now a Gsl

Aww Tash .. I didn't know you cared .. , of course in an orchid-kinda way ...

Congrats irphrog! I had been wanting the Encyclia cochleata forever also and recently crossed it off my wish list when I received mine from Oak Hill. Most intriguing! Does your ency. have a scent? I can't quite figure out what it smells like....the closest I can explain is anise, licorice.

Your Catt. is jaw dropping, beautiful also.

Enjoy!

Here's a pic of the flower of my Enc cochleata x Enc trulla, a bit different than the true squid plant, as I like to call them.

Beautiful pics.I love that cochleata/the clamshell orchid is one of my favorites to search for in the swamps, I really look forward to seeing one bloom. Congratulaions!!!

[quiltergal]

So D....does that mean that my C. Chocolate Drop is now something else?

[Dorothy]

Yep, It is now Cattlianthe Chocolate Drop
.. but you know you can call it anything you like

[quiltergal]

So how do you abbreviate that?!!

Yes, it does have a scent but I can figure out what it reminds me of...it's very soft and sweet....

I'll trade you a divison of mine for a division of yours!!
