Hi Ryan
Welcome to the orchid board, I have one given to me by an old collector, but I have no idea where you can get one. I am waiting to see the bloom, I've heard its beautiful. Good Luck.

Ryan,
This cross originated from Stewart Orchids in 1986 and this cultivar was awarded an HCC in June 1993 with 75 points.
It is almost 70% C.warscewiczii and a stunning plant!
"Sepals and petals white with red darts at apices; lip red-lavender with canary yellow eyes; flatness and substance good for breeding; diamond dust texture over the flowers."
It takes high light (3500-4000 candles), intermediate temperature (Day 85F/Night 60F), and prefers a humidity in the 50-60% range.

I do not have one...but would love one! If you are successful, please let us know if your "source" has more
