I hope I've done this correctly.

This is the first of a batch of watercolour paintings I have acquired. All of them date from 1910 - 1920.

The information I have on this one is 'Blcattleya Shrewsbury var Merveille' it also has the parentage, but it is unreadable. If anyone can shed more light on it or correct the spelling (very difficult to decipher) I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

They are all hybrids. You're never going to know for sure.

Blc Schrewsbury is Rhyncholaeliocattleya Shrewsbury now.

Here is its file at the RHS. The International Orchid Register / RHS Gardening

Now, I cannot tell it's the one on the drawing…
