C Quinquecolor
I have a love affair with spotted bifoliate cattleyas and this is one of my all-time favorites. C Quinquecolor (yes, it has five colors) is a primary cross (C aclandiae x C forbesii) with striking colors and markings.

I like that one very much. Great spotting and colors. How large is your plant?

I agree. These are beautiful orchids, easy to grow and very rewarding. And fragrant? My yes!!! These are lovely picotee. Very nice indeed. I am waiting for mine to flower this year. Bicolor, schofieldiana, a guttata cross, two schilleriana crosses, and a another citrine. Yours are very nice. And I should compliment your photography too. I shoot large format. I post pics here using a small sony digi. What do you use? Lighting? Backdrop? Nice images.

James, I wish I could grow the large bifoliate catts. I had to give up my C leopoldii for lack of space, and just when it was blooming size. Sob! Have had no luck blooming C schilleriana but C aclandiae and its hybrids do well for me. Thanks for the compliment re my pics. I shoot with a Sony DSC H-1 and alternate with Panasonic Lumix FH22 which, although a pocket size camera, has a nice wide 28mm lens, allowing me to shoot in natural light, which is my preference. I generally use posterboard for backdrops. I would love to see your large format shots. What is your choice of backdrop? Lighting?
