The important part is not the name is the flower is beatiful.

thanks Melissa - no, that's a bud near opening - has opened now, and it has a bit more spotting than the first |

I really like these blooms. It's on my list to get a similar one.

Cattleya amethystoglossa var. coerulea is a good match. Try looking for that on google. Yours has a little more yellow in the petals though. But the spots and lip color are a good match. I like it. Love the color and it looks healthy. Is this the first flower you've had?

I'll check that out. Yes, first bloom on this. I'm noticing more fragrance now too. Guess with two blooms now, and me being in the kitchen earlier in the day. Not overpowering, but I can smell it from a couple of feet away. |

I'm a sucker for any cattleya but this is nice. Very pastel. Reading further I see where it is probably something else. Don't know if amathystaglossa breeding is here. That is a large plant and flower and this is a mini or compact. Beautiful.

It's a beautiful little plant but it is not C. amethystoglossa. That species is a large plant and usually blooms with a head of many flowers. I read online that this species can get almost 3 feet tall and can have 20 flowers on one inflorescence. Here is a link to info and pics of C. amethystoglossa. Orchids of Brazil. Brazilian orchids You have a cute little plant though whether it has a name or not! |
