Blc. Cherise Nishioka 'Hilo Flare'
A couple of years ago I received an AM from the Honolulu Orchid Society for this clone. However, I lost the plant a year later from black rot. I obtained another clone last year from Hawaii Hybrids of the Big Island of Hawaii and got it to bloom. The flowers are just as attractive as those from the awarded plant with their butter yellow color and dark red markings on the tips of the petals and lips. The colors are very vibrant when the flowers open but will fade after a couple of days. The photo below was taken with my iPhone.

I'm glad you were able to find a great (maybe almost exact same copy?) replacement for the one you lost.
The coloring reminds me of Goldenzelle Lemon Shiffon except the yellow tone is darker here.
The flower shape reminds me of orchid island.
I love yellow! Does it smell nice too?  |
