Here is a link to my previous thread: Cattleya Identification
And here are the  's.....Enjoy! |

Wow, Bacca, I love it. The flowers are almost identical to my Bl. Golden Glory, just a bit pinker, I think, but the plant it much shorter. I'm going to check this one out, I'm totally unfamiliar with this cross.

Wow becca,
Those little guys are great! The color is gorgeous!
I love the nodosa hybrids...they are such compact growers, and can really pack a punch when they bloom. Wee done.  |

What a spectacular plant. The last orchid I bought from Bill Asia was a Phal that ended up blooming and is when I found out, I didn't get the plant I purchased.
The colors on this are extraordinary. What are you growing in? It looks like Hydroton and Dyna-roc with some charcoal? I've had great success with both on all my Catts and alliances.
One beautiful plant you've got. You've done beautifully, here.

I use a Cattleya mix from repotme.com that is made with Medium Cork Nuggets imported from Portugal, Medium Monterey Pine Bark, Medium Aliflor, and Large Sponge Rock. It tends to dry out rather quickly for me during the summer, but it prevents root rot and fungal problems for me that I have with other potting mediums such as chc mixtures. The 'chids really love it and have gone crazy in it! |

Becca that's a winner for sure! Great color and shape, and I love the spotting on the lip. You finally got something good out of old Bill!  |
