C. George King 'Serendipity'
This was on my wish list and I purchased it in sheath at the local orchid society auction. It has a light citrus scent.

Thanks Rosie! I'll try to remember it.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. Best of luck finding and growing these. AOS said they can bloom twice a year.

This is my favourite cattleya hybrid and I was able to acquire a near blooming size one from Cal Orchid when they were here in Canada (Toronto) back in August. Nice plant with erect medium green pbulbs and thick paddle like leaves. I read somewhere that they can bloom twice a year too. I just can't wait for mine to bloom once.  |

I hope I can get mine to rebloom. LOL. Good luck with yours!

Probably takes a large plant and perfect culture. I'll be happy if mine reblooms in a year. |

Aww man!! That is really awesome, so regal/elegant looking. I love the colour, the fluffyness, and yellow/purple lip markings. Really well distinguished orchid. Thanks for sharing.

That's beautiful, much nicer than in another photo of this grex that I've seen. I have a seedling of this, now I'm impatient for it to grow up! Luckily it seems to be particularly vigorous and hardy.

Lovely. I bought one recently but it is still too small to bloom. Now I know what they will really look like.
