Steve,
This plant is fairly average sized for a Catt. The background has a surprisingly small amount of digbyana (3.1%). It's mostly bowringiana and labiata at 28.1% each, gaskalliana, purpurata and tigrina at 12.5% each and then tenebrosa fills in the rest with 3.1% of the background. This is all from OrchidWiz. I should mention, this plant is from Akatsuka Orchids on the Big Island. They might still have some plants around. They also created this cross. |

It went from Blc. to Thw. now it is Rth. I think that this will be the last time for a long time that the names get changed, I hope so anyhow.

Sent Akatsuka Orchids an e-mail today asking if they still have this orchid for sale. Anyone else interested in purchasing this beauty?
