Giving you a bump and you've not had an answer. Also moved this to the Cattleya Alliance in the hope more people who know it might see it here.

According to OrchidWiz, C. Fulvescens is an old primary cross of C. dowiana x C. forbesii made in 1901 and awarded once in 1983. So it doesn't sound very common. I have seen one photo where it looked mostly like the dowiana parent but the others I have seen take on the forbesii parent. Maybe you could find something similar with these two species in the mix if you can't find this one. I know when I get my mind set on finding a particular orchid it is hard to not be able to find it tho.

Otherwise I guess you could see what vendors from all over are attending orchid shows in your area and maybe someone has this cross that you could pre-order.

Silken,.. yes, when i see something that i like very much i just want to have it... i spend all day searching for it and nothing... Maybe i will be lucky someday, or perhaps i should make this hybrid by myself but first i have to get the parents
Since the isnt any orchid shows where i live hoping for a miracle is the only thing

Take care
