Green petals belong to ...
OK, here's my other mystery orchid. I repotted this back in April and while the plant is just sort of surviving the shock, a new stem came out with three blooms.
Anybody know what it is that I have?

Fred, don't know the exact name but it looks like some sort of Cattleya. Very pretty. Looks like you did a good job repotting

Yeah, it's a mini-cat of some kind but just what is the question. The division & repot of this plant went well but many of my plants were sick and I had no idea with what. I was then getting black rot on new growth and what you see here in white on the leaves is the residue of banrot which I'm now using to get rid of any fungus I had in the plants. It seems to be working as the flowers are now going to bloom rather then rotting away.

I guess you guys and gals KNOW how I fell about not taking care of labels in the past. I could kick myself from here to China.

Vina,
there is a similarity but upon closer comparison they are definitly not the same. I will keep looking.

I was going to guess that it had C. bicolor in there. Vina is closer. Check out just the Lc Anne Follis 'Green TM#3'.
