My Delight - Orchid Board

My utmost delight was when this Cattleya bloomed and I couldn't resist taking it's pics from every angle. A parent's pride you can say ...heheheh.

I would like to share this with you all. The bloom lasted for about 2 weeks. My only regret though is that I do not know it's species. I have seen a similar one in waldor's website. Perhaps he would be so kind as to help me out here.

Hami,
this is definitely a hybrid, not a species.....I have no idea on the name as there are several that have this appearance. It has cattleya dowiana in the background, presenting the yellow flower with lovely red lip.

That is a beauty Hami! Congratulations.

Sorry for the long absence. The prior slow response of the system did not help. I just found the way to trace my previous postings and I notice that the system response time has improved a lot.

I thought I saw a similar one in one of the member's gallery. I should have taken note of its name. Will try to find it again.

Thnx Phantasm for the tip.

Found it in Peter NL's gallery - Blc Alma Kee "Tipmalee".
It looks similar!
