Potinara Paradise Beauty 'Marcela'
This one just opened fully today, it came out yesterday after a 2 year wait !!! It was love at first sight as it was going to our auction (everything gathers at my mentor's g/h before every event or sale so I get the first look) and he, unknown to me, must have put it aside after all my raving and he gave it to me later on after the auction ! That was May 2010. Did the best I could with the pix but it lost some in the translation = more of a reddish purple than the pix could get but you get the idea. It's the pure white contrasting sepals with my favorite color purple that hooked me !!!

Wow! I'm no Catt-fan but this! It's just plain gorgeous. I love the contrast between the white sepals and purple petals. Stunning.  |

Thank you all !!! Guess I didn't tell it fully but when I first saw her, I had to be helped up off the floor !!!!!!! I didn't have ANY trouble at all waiting for her to bloom again, aside from the tease she did by putting up a sheath last year which I JUST now removed !!!!

A bloody ripper! I could find room for one of those.
PS I'm glad to see you and Bud have made up.

I agree with Mutant. I'm generally not a Catt fan, but this one is so elegant in shape and the colors are spectacular!
