Steve, I am sure that you know Portia and Porcia are different hybrids, but other people may not know. Don wrote with 'c', so his plant is Cattleya Armistrongiae x C. bowringiana. Portia, is the primary between C. labiata and C. bowringiana!  |

Actually, I did not know that! Im only familiar with Portia, the primary hybrid. Thanks Mauro, I learn something every day from this board! |

Don...it's gorgeous!  I love the blue lip and the yellow tones in the throat and apex of the bloom. Thanks for posting. |

Thanks Mauro for the clarification between Porcia and Portia. I didn't know the either, other than they must have had different partentage as they are so different. We are all a little wiser with the OB and its members.
