This my flowering orchid with the name on it as Procatavola Honolulu. I am not sure if it is correctly named. What do you think?

Marleneann.

M, whatever the name is...that is gorgeous!!!
Does it have a fragrance? Beautiful

No fragrance. Just have it with the other cattleyas.

Originally registered as Vaughnara (Brassavola x Cattleya x Epidendrum) Honolulu in 1966, before the name changes started.

Now it is Lovelessara (Cattleya x Guarianthe x Prosthechea x Rhyncholaelia) Honolulu.

In between some may have called it Procatavola (Brassavola x Cattleya x Prosthechea) Honolulu.

If you were questioning if it is really Honolulu, the appearance of the flowers is believable, but I would not have expected it to be a described as a 'mini' since all of the grandparents are medium to large species. How big is it? Yours appears to be the only picture on the 'net under any name.
