Catt. Brabantiae x Catt. loddigesii

[Paul]

One of the very few orchids I have purchased without knowing what the flower would be like. I am disappointed that the dorsal sepal flips back like it does. (Would have considered taking it in for judging otherwise.) No fragrance that I can detect. Heavy substance and a good-sized flower -- especially compared to most chids that I grow -- approx 4 inches across. Ah well, though it isn't award quality, I do like the spotting so it'll be in no danger of losing its home.
