[The Viper]

Im not sure but I think my new orchid might be C. aclandiae x shilleriana. all the lable said was "C. aclandiae hybrid".
Anyone know?

Also, if anyone knows any growing information about this orchid, please share it as I normaly grow dendrobiums and have never tried a Cattleya.
And one more question. Would this hybrid be able to survive outside in Melbourne during winter? The temperature can get below 10 degrees celsius.

I think it's aclandiae x intermedia.

I have the C Landate, which is a cross of C aclandiae and C guttatta, The aclandiae side makes it a warm grower so i would be careful about growing it outside in winter.

No idea, she sure is a beauty though!

I can't see the picture unforch, but any hybrid of aclandiae will probably need to be kept warm, since aclandiae comes from hot and drier areas in Brazil, so I would not recommend putting it outside for the winter.

Hi! Probably is a C. Quadricolor. (C. aclandiae x C. forbesii).
Look for pictures in google.

Hi everyone! thanks so much for the replies. Whatever it is I'm going to have to grow it in my terrarium, since C. aclandiae is a warm grower. lucky it is a rather small Catellaya.

If it helps, I am going to post some more pics later.
