Rlc. Memoria Anna Balmores 'Convex'
Rlc. Memoria Anna Balmores 'Convex' is my favorite orchid. It has 5 1/2" bright, fragrant blooms that are self supporting and don't need to be staked. It blooms on every new pseudo-bulb. It's a vigorous grower and very disease resistant. It blooms on one or two pseudo-bulbs at a time, starting in October each year. Last year, new blooms kept opening for 10 weeks. I don't know if all clones of this plant are as good but this one is a real performer.

I have a seeding with the tag that says RLC Memoria Anna Balmores and I can't wait to see when it finally blooms in a few years. It is a very robust grower  If my blooms look anything like yours then it will be a prized orchid in my collection as well ❤️ |

Mandy, at first it was just an average cattleya but I never divided it and as it got bigger and bigger it started really blooming well. It has about 40 pseudo-bulbs on it now and really puts on a show. |
