Yam Queen Adelia 'Kiilani'
Not my best photo ops but three spikes and 10 flowers which is a major accomplishment for me, since I have a terrible time getting my Cattleya Alliance plants to do much of anything but take up space!!!!!! Some of the flowers have fallen prey to our local insect population... I summer my catts out on the driveway in my new portable greenhouse, since this is the only place of any kind of major sun I have!

The blooms are beautiful. Good job!
P.S. I've got some of those cattleya non-blooming space hoggers too.  |

It's very nice. I love the sunset colors on the blooms. 
Out of curiosity, what does the abbreviation "yam" stand for? I can see some encyclia in there, but what are the other parents? |

Yamadaara was a combination of Cattleya, Brassavola, Laelia and Encyclia. It is no longer in official use. So many species in these genera have been reclassified as something else that many old names for hybrid genera were scrapped and new ones created.
This plant is now a Maumeneara, the only one of its kind, combining Cattleya, Guarianthe, Brassavola, Rhyncholaelia, Laelia, and Encyclia. Other former Yamadaara are under other names now depending on what species ended up in what genera. |
