That's an early cross and it has been seldom seen here.

Beautiful!

Mine opened up yesterday. It is a great plant. I've read most clones are sterile.

Gorgeous, mine is done and all blooms gone. It's an orange one.

The 'Orange' clone is really nice as well. I've never seen it for sell.

Hausermans has it and that's where I got mine. It is darker than it looks in there pictures. It was a nice plant and has grown several new pbulbs. I really like it. I think I need a red one. But which one and what are the differences?

Thanks for the info.

I believe the clone in the pic is Slc. Jewel Box 'Scheherazade"; as mentioned, there is a clone named Slc. JB 'Orange', and a darker, deeper red clone named Slc. JB 'Dark Waters', although I would take 'Scheherazade' over any of the others as it's color is just really eye-popping, cherry red.
Of course, I wouldn't kick any of them out of my "flower bed" so to speak - they tend to be very reliable bloomers and vigorous growers.
Thanks for sharing a beautiful example of one of my most favorite orchids.

Thanks for the information. I got this plant from a local nursery. These plants were imported many decades ago and the plant what i got was divided from the mother plants. It does look very like the clone, Scheherazade.

Thanks for the info. I have seen both the Dark Waters and the Scheherazade and was wondering how much they were different. Hausermanns has the Orange and The Dark Waters. I got the orange because at the time I didn't have any Catt's and I love the orange ones. Now I maybe have to many so now I want some red ones. And some more yellow ones...oh and some green ones........oh oh and some...........
