Rlc. Mongkol Delight x Rlc. Chia Lin
This is an unregistered cross. I have a Chia LIn which won't bloom for me, but this one has bloomed the last 2 years in the fall. I got it from a friend who was downsizing his orchid collection. It's a fair sized plant and this fall and last it produced 1 spike with 4 large buds. The blooms are always curled like this as soon as they open. Colour gets deeper and richer over the next few weeks. It has enough roots but not as many as most of my Catts. So the leaves aren't as plump and I wonder if that's why the petals curl. I will give it some seaweed after the blooms are done, see if that helps for next year. It has a beautiful fragrance. Even tho the blooms don't have good substance, they lasted nearly a month last year.
