My catt rex x iricolor is coming into bloom for the 2nd year. I purchased this plant on a trip to Ecuador in 2010. The iricolor was rediscovered in the 60's by the priest who founded Ecuagenera in Ecuador . This particular cross in available at Ecuagenera. The lip I think is more like an Aureus lip. Its a keeper. Grows in my East window.

I would love to see pics of this when the flower opens. I can't really imagine what that cross would look like. How tall is the plant?

And welcome to Orchidboard!!

I also have a Catt. iricolor that came from Ecuagenera, and it is just starting a new lead and new roots. I agree, pictures would be awesome! Also, seeing that this is your first post,

It is great to see another Canadian here on the Board! You are going to love it here.
