I love the colours of this one! I'm thinking of getting something similar that can bloom more than once a year. I have not had much luck with catts in the past but I think I have the hang of it now. My LC only blooms once a year.

Wendy's Valentine is a grandparent. This kind of hybrid just glows. |

I was a part of a judging team that pulled one of these for AOS judging this past Friday (21 March) and while there was some damage to the flowers that prevented a score from being considered, the color of this flower is unlike anything I've seen. The red and the yellow popped out in such an amazing way that this is definitely a plant that should be in everyone's collection and I almost never say that about a hybrid!
Where did you get this one Tucker?

I'm not sure where Tucker got his, but I know Carmela's has these. I think that's where most people are getting them.

Steve, I bought this from Carmela Orchids. They're one of my favorite vendors. Since they're in Hawaii, they're plants don't have any trouble adjusting to our hot, humid weather in South Florida. They have a booth at the Ft. Lauderdale Orchid Show each year and I always pick up a few orchids from them. I've also bought online from them. The owner of Carmela Orchids told me that this is his favorite cattleya. |

Tucker,
If your blooms are spotless and not too crowded, you should be able to this one awarded. This clone has an AM (its only award I believe) and it was given to a plant with one bloom. One of the judges that was on the committee that awarded it was with us this weekend and said there was a lot of discussion about giving it the AM because it only had one bloom on the spike. A well groomed flower with two uncrowded blooms should get an award fairly easily.

This one has two flowers on one spike and three buds on a second spike. They're nicely displayed and not crowded. The flowers look larger this time than they were previously. I've never taken any of my orchids for judging. I have no excuse because we have an AOS judging event once a month right near where I live. I might try to get over there. |
