C. Maxima x something...
Picked this up yesterday - the cultivator had it mislabelled, and couldn't find the correct name, but he remembers it was C. Maxima x something. I know it's a long shot (the Maxima is definitely the dominant parent here), but any ideas?

Hmm.. Strongly bifoliate habit, with the flowers being only slightly de-frilled relative to C. maxima, and plant size not significantly reduced. Something like Cattlianthe Chloris (max x Gur. bowringiana) probably. The psuedobulbs look about right for that too. If it isn't a primary the chances of an ID go down fast. I'll do some looking.

I can't find anything that is a better general match than Cattlianthe Chloris. But as always, there are certainly other possibilities that might match just as well.

OK, thanks for the input. I'll ask the grower and see if it rings any bells.

Update: Just spoke to the grower today, and he verified that it was Cattlianthe Chloris (C. Maxima x Gur. Bowringiana).
Top skills once more, PaphMadMan!  |
