Great colors on this hybrid, especially on the lip. Nicely grown, too. Congratulations on your beautiful specimen.

Thanks Warren! It's hard to keep the names right with so many changes over the years!  |

What a gorgeous plant, it's huge! I really love Bc Maikai, and would love to get one, but I'm in doubt as to my cababilities in blooming anything in the Catt family. I guess I won't know until I try.

Very nice, Ysa! I have never been able to bloom any of the Maikais ... not sure why.

I've been impressed with all the orchid photos that you've posted. You're certainly doing something right. I have a Bc. Maikai 'Louise' also and it grows like a weed and always blooms well. But yours definately takes the blue ribbon. Congratulations.
