If you gave the plant a turn to the left and focus on the third bloom is the misfit bloom still in the frame?
It sure is a beauty anyway, sure wish I could grow Catt's. Heck, right now, I wish I could grow anything.

Wow, great flower. I love it even with the upside down bloom!

I agree, beautiful is the word, BUT I think that this is not a Mem. Crispin Rosales, it doesn't have the right spape or colouring for one, there is a Sc. Crispian but at the moment I can't find a pic. of it.

Since I don't know cattleya very well, I can only go by what the tag says, "Blc Memoria Crispin Rosales #2". There is always the possibility that the plant is mislabeled.

If I could take a picture like yours, I would enter it.
They are really beautiful.

Mine just started blooming and the first flower open was upside down; however, after a few days it seems to be righting itself...so my advice would be to wait a few days and see if it straightens out!
