Two points...
1) Didn't I read on here that Lc's will remain Lc's, and only new crosses will carry the new nomenclature?

2) Especially on well known crosses, to me personally, they will remain the same.y

I love it! I saw the other post and loved it too, but this gives it a different perspective with such a cluster of blooms! Very nice!

I've never researched the name. I bought it about four years ago and I still have the origional tag that just says Lc. Blue Grotto "Blue Lustre". I do remember though, that they didn't have any of these for sale. The vendor cut a few psuedobulbs off a very large plant that I had admired. He then just hand wrote a tag for me. He may not have written it correctly. I'll have to do some research.

Tucker85, I think its just a typo. Your heading is missing the R in Grotto.

Sorry about that. You're right it was a typo. But I also checked the vendors website and it's actually listed as a Blc. Blue Grotto 'Blue Lustre'. I'm sorry about the confusion.

Beautiful flowers! I just received small plant of Lc. Blue Grotto 'Takagi'. Hope it will look similar to yours when it blooms.
