RLC Memoria Shirley Moore 'Newberry'
Even though I am not a fan of green Cattleya flowers, I do appreciate flowers with a good color contrast. So, in the NJOS auction in March, I decided to bid on this one, even though the plant was a bit 'skinny'.
I put a decent growth on it, and it graced me with a single flower, so I could see what I got. Now I need to grow it maturity, so I can get some more flowers on the spike.
