The flower is lovely Sue, nice work!
The frill of the lip does look very digbyana!! In fact the whole flower has digbyana characteristics. The color, the lip presentation and the petal shape. Compare it to these two Rhyncholaelia digbyana....
This is surprising considering the lineage of the cross......
C. Celia = C. loddigessii x C. Lady Veitch
C. Lady Veitch = C. lueddemanniana x C. warneri

I agree with you. Might it be a mistake of a person who made this hybrid? |

I agree that it looks like a Digby...the parentage info I listed came from Orchidwiz... but it is a very old hybrid  |

I answered that post too quickly! 
The white plant in the background is a white Cattleya from Shannon's Orchids, #248 in their books...I may or may not get the name sometime soon  |

I'm thinking this bloom is going to go through some changes before the show is over
Here's a picture of it when my friend gave it to me...the flower is much whiter and open. |

Do I still get to keep my two points for paying attention and knowing that you had a C. skinneri in bloom?
