Very unique coloring, I don't believe I've ever seen a red with bright yellow sepals before. I like it!

Hello Roy,I don't want to spoil your joy,but I have a Dora Louis Capen 'Lea' and mine has completly different colors of flowers,maybe the 'Lea' name makes it diffrent.Post the picture of the flower so I can see it.Anyway when you go to google and write the name it shows the flowers and all of them look like mine.Good luck.

I know yours would be different BUT they are the same plant. This is a mutation that flowered from a flask of M/clones grown to flowering size & re cloned. |

Roy's info here is 100% correct, the plant was M/C by the Cairns Orchid Centre as far as I know, this clone carries the name "Clifton Two Tone" , mine has just finished flowering.

buckie, did it take a flowering or 2 for it to flower well. I think the bare rooting & transport has spoilt this flowering. Its the right orchid, same as pic & yours but not up to the standard of the pic I posted.
