This is the first flower for me from a seedling I got back in March of 2009. It has a wonder fragrance.

Very nice, Howard. I've become fond of blooms displaying the guttata influence. They have great personality.

This is just a record pic. The pot is 3". When I got the plant it was a seedling and was dwarfed by the pot. Now a year and half later it needs something larger.

Really like that one, and thanks for the pic of the whole plant.

I take 'record' shots as well, helps me compare and know if one is getting bigger or if it's declining.

Nice orchid. I like catts with spots.

Thanks. nice roots! did you grow it a greenhouse? I wonder if you have a photo of when you first got it. I have 2 C. leopoldii that look very different one from the otehr and growth habit too [actually one is tagged as C. guttata v. leopoldii].

Sorry but I can't find any pictures from back then.

Very pretty blooms. Is this C. guttata (as stated in the title of the post) or a hybrid of guttata and bicolor (as identified in the picture)?
