Help me ID plese!

[peeper]

Hello, I got this Cattleya from a nursery about 6 months ago, there was no tag in it, and the ldy there said that she knows that it had one. But alas, it's no where to be found. Well, it Bloomed!





What do you think?

I think it's beautiful. Can't help with the name tho. It looks familiar to me, so maybe someone else will know your plant by name.

It looks like a Richard Meuller cross, possibly Bl Rustic Spots.

I looked that up and there are just a ton of variations of it! But I think I found one that actually looks identical.
Bl. Rustic Spots 'Sentinel's Bronze Spots'

Thank you!

Or Hoku Gem. Many Richard Mueller crosses look similar, including some unregistered ones certainly. There is probably no way to make a 100% identification.

It is definitely Bc Rustic Spots;
(Bc Richard Mueller x C landate)

What do you think?

Your orchid is Bc. Hoku Gem, which is Bc. Richard Mueller x C. Tangerine Jewel. It should change from orange base colour to yellow after a couple of days. Cattmad.

Thank you! Some of the blooms have started turning a more yellowish hue.
