Whatever the "name" is lovely! I love purpuratas no matter the correct or current genus name  |

Thank you.
I bought it bare root from an Ebay vendor 3-4 years ago. I forget the name, but I seem to remember that the vendor was a hobby grower. |

Wabbit called it right!! By any name, it's beautiful!! It seems that all taxonomy experts fall into one of two buckets; the splitters and the lumpers. Seems like the lumpers are in control now. |

It's gorgeous! Too bad you don't remember. I'll have to check around and see who has this variety. I love the light-colored purpuratas. |

Ha!! Who, me? never?
I'm innocent of orchid hoarding, I swear (it's totally coincidental I need new shelves because I no longer have room) I dunno...the orchids multiplied without my knowledge. |

I'm just trying to remember if this is an orchid I bought just over a week ago.
I got a Sophrontis something and then found out it's now a Cattleya and I have this feeling it was purpurata. I will have to look when I get home.
