I bought this cat last year at Lowe's on their "half dead" plant shelf. It did not have a tag. Can anyone ID? Sure is pretty and very large flower.

Its a No ID Cattleya hybrid...very hard to distinguish the exact name without the tag...either a Potinara, Slc. or a Blc. we dont know .... even if we find the exact similar picture of it in the net, it still will be hard to pinpoint...but it is in the Cattleya family because of the shape, texture and form of the flower, leaf and partial bulb.

Nice save, it sure is gorgeous! I agree with Bud, without a tag, it's going to be impossible to ID.

Even without a name that is a beautiful catt.

With such a beauty, who cares about a name...

Hummmmm, I agree with the fact that it IS in the cattleya family, and that it IS very pretty...Why don't you give it a name that you like? I would...BettyE
