Default Catyclia Lollipop

I really like color of this one, so I thought I would share. The color is deep mauve with lemon lip. I like how the color of detail in the lip matches to the color of petals. The flower is about 2.25"
I got this Catyclia (Encyclia x Cattleya) Lollipop from an orchid collection sale and regretted till it got to flower I really love the color and shape of the flower but the plant is still a little too big for my growing space. So perhaps I will have to let it go by the time I have to bring orchid inside for winter.
Why cant they make something so cute in a smaller size?

oooo! fabulous color! I hope you are able to find a way to keep this - would seem a shame to have to let it go ...

Catlyclia (Epicattleya) Lollipop is (C. loddigesii x Enc. tampensis) You might want to consider that your plant might be something else. The one awarded Lollipop has a much more Encyclia-like lip. The tubular lip on your plant appears to be influenced by something like C. forbesii, C. luteola or even L. lucasiana. It looks a lot like a lavendar C. forbesii, not a bad thing at all.

After looking at pictures of parents I know what you mean about lip. I think C.forbesii is really lovely and I wouldnt mind if Lollipop would end up being a specie.
But comparing plants it looks like C.forbesii has long skinny p-bulbs with regular Cattleya leaves, as mine has long skinny p-buls with skinny long leaves like some of Encyclias. Could it still be a Cattleya?

I have to disagree. C. loddigesii can have a significantly long and tubular lip, though quite variable depending on the clone, and everything about this flower looks well within expectations for the cross named. This color would be very unlikely from C. forbesii or C. luteola, and the petals and sepals are too broad for L. lucasiana to be likely. If not C. loddigesii the only other species I could easily believe would be C. harrisoniana or a dark C. intermedia.

If I was going to question a parent it would be E. tampensis - maybe more like E. alata or E. phoenicea.

And a very lovely Lollipop it is...

First off - lovely flowers.

I don't understand why you would say it's too big? Just how big is it?

It in fact, Does look like an Enc, tampensis hybrid to me. Look at the 2nd pic. The lips shape, and striations definitely look like it. The over all petals and sepal shape looks like it as well.

To me, it looks correctly labeled, but, not haven seen one before...

If it is too bid, like a Encyclia, maybe you can divide it sown? Also please let me know where you got it so I may inquire about one for myself as well...
