I recently received this orchid - Rsc-Ports of Fortune 'Amazonia Orchids'. What is Rsc? Anyone know, or have a clue????? Anyone know what color - It looks like a cat. I sent an email to amazonia orchids, but no response. Thanks.

RSC is an abbreviation for Rhynchosophrocattleya. this is an obsolete classification, since there are no more plants classified as sophronitis.
your plant is now classified as RLC (Rhyncholaeliocattleya). I have not seen this particular clone before, but most of the plants of this cross have come out yellow.

I believe your plant is Rlc. Ports of Fortune (Rlc. Ports of Paradise x Rlc. Fortune).
Where did the 'Amazonia Orchids' come from? I can't find a reference to this.

Also many of the old "Blc" plants are now reclassified as "Rlc".

Interesting factoid: C. Withner's third volume of Cattleyas and Their Relatives is on the Sophronitis which is now "nonexistent". This volume is quite the collector's item as a result.

'Amazonia Orchids' is the cultivar of the plant and indicates the origin of the grower.
