Rhyncholaeliocattleya Goldenzelle 'Passion'

[cabnc]

Rhyncholaeliocattleya (Rlc.) Goldenzelle 'Passion' HCC/AOS has previously been classified as a Rhynchosophrocattleya (Rsc.) and a Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc.). The cross is Rlc. Fortune x C. Horace, registered in 1982. I traded for 3 pseudobulbs from Darwin (aka orchidtrader) in Sept. 2008. This flowers for 'Passion' are described as hot watermelon pink. The flower has a ns of 3.5", small for this plant. Hopefuly the size will improve as the plant grows larger - and I learn how to grow them better

You did get it to bloom.

I am sure they will get larger in the future.

Great growing. I have a couple of clones of this plant. Unfortunately, I think they are virused. The flowers which bloomed a couple of weeks ago have streaks on the petals. I'm going to let them bloom one more time before I discard them. Your flowers look very good.
