This flower has been forming for the past 4 months.
It is finally opening. I have never seen any orchid flower showing the hairs on this one. The plant looks like a cattleya type. Can anyone tell me what is it?
I probably should wait until it is completely open.
It would help a lot to see that whole plant in focus and with something to indicate the size. Or a good picture of a fully open flower. But if it looks like a Catt, with that lip, I'd say Rhyncholaelia digbyana.
Yeah!, great entertainment to watch it develop the bloom, however, I read that the flower only last about one week. Hope there will be more thru the summer from other shoots. A gem among the more common ones.
