I got this orchid and a few others on Oahu last year at Kawamoto nursery. They also sell orchids online on eBay. Very good nursery, beautiful orchids.

Thank you again for your help.

So jealous here, you went to Kawamoto, I buy from Reid all the time, he is absolutely THE BEST regarding packing, I have never ever seen such a great job, all my orchids came in amazing condition, all the spikes and buds. They are on my MUST DO list when going to Hawaii once:-) Gorgeous cattleya, have one from Kawamoto as well:-)
