Sl. Polestar-- maybe the cutest flower ever

[bethmarie]

No offense to any of your flowers

Bloom is a little bigger than a quarter.

Gorgeous!

Beautiful!! And you are right about the cute factor. I need more reds/oranges so this one is going on the list.

BTW -- it's just plain old C. Pole-Star....now that coccinea and briegeri have both been moved to Cattleya.

Very nice!

Thanks Rosie, Orchidgirl, Katrina. It has taken this one two years to bloom for me, so I'm excited.

I think Sophrolaelia is better information than just Cattleya, so I'll give the taxonomists a raspberry on this one.

*excuse the double post. I don't do a lot of quoting

I really like the color. Great growing!

Don't blame you on the raspberry...especially w/the briegeri.
