My friend Linda handed me this beauty yesterday at our party...it's such a pretty shade of yellow, very fragile looking

It has a very slight fragrance. Kind of sweet but hardly there, ya know?

...and yes, Linda is very nice and not just because she's given me some lovely plants

Wish I had friends like that Sue. My 'friends' are vendors and they always seem to want money from me.

What a great friend you have Sue and a very nice plant.

Might it be that your plant is Bc. Daffodil (Brassavola glauca x Cattleya aurantiaca)?

Blc. Daffodil (Brassolaeliocattleya Irma x Brassocattleya Trimabilis) is a complex hybrid with C. trianae, mossiae and dowiana in it.

Both tags (the original and Linda's when she repotted) say Blc Daffodil. This plant was given to Linda a few years ago from a friend who inherited her grandfather's collection and this was among the group

I just went and checked again...I stand corrected! Thank you
It IS Bc Daffodil

I just LOVE this place
