New NoIDs to Me - Orchid Board

Curtis2010 · #1 08-27-2012, 10:20 PM

Found a couple of orchids in bloom this AM. Hybrids of some sort or at least not indigenous to here. One looks like it might be some flavor of Cattleya to me. Any ID suggestions much appreciated.

4 pics of two plants attached.

Thanks.

Gorgeous. They both look like something in the Cattleya Alliance but beyond that I can't help I'm afraid.

Beautiful! It looks like you found a perfect spot in your yard for them.

Yes, that's my best guess too. I will wander down that path and see if I get luck.

Thanks.

The first one looks to have some bowringiana in it, but is definitely a hybrid. The second one looks to have aclandiae in it. Again, a hybrid. Might give some clues as to culture though.
