Blc Ports of Paradise?

[KristenReuel]

This was a noID rescue, but I think it looks like a Blc Ports of Paradise? Anyways, it's my first cattleya-type orchid to rebloom. VERY easy to grow. Smells strongly of lemons

Sure do look like Port of Paradise.
But I had a plant named Prada Green that looks about the same.
NOID Port of Paradise could be. might be. wanna be. I guess. lol

How big are the flowers?

Hybrids with a high percentage of Rl. digbyana not always the easiest types to bloom, so good going.

I don't think I've ever seen that red soul patch in the lip on Ports of Paradise, and Ports of Paradise usually has fairly prominent side lobes to the lip that I don't see here. These flowers also seem a bit restrained for Ports of Paradise which is often just a bit on the ragged side of floofy.

Prada Green Deluxe and Prada Green Nation (there is no just Prada Green) are both offspring of Ports of Paradise and do look similar, but again no red patch that I have seen.

Dragon Jade is another Ports of Paradise offspring, one that can have the soul patch and without prominent side lobes. Maybe a better match, but there really is no way to be sure. Rlc. Unknown 'Son of Paradise'?

I have seen Port of Paradise with red patch on the lip.

The Prada Green Deluxe (yes, that's the name, thanks) was green all throughout with no red.
The lip was not as impressive as Port of Paradise, though. Still big flowers on small plant, which is a plus for me.

Lovely blooms!
