NOID Laelia/Cattleya orchid
 

I experimented for three years to re-bloom my favorite NOID orchid. Now she is in full bloom again...Any info would be very much appreciated!

It is very beautiful! Nicely done! :bowing

I have no idea what it is, but wow that is stunning!

It is definitely a Cattleya hybrid, probably including Laelia too. The leaves are bifoliate, i would guess there's probably C. aurantiaca in the background.

You may never get a positive ID unfortunately due to the complexity of hybrids. But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it!

What a beautiful flower - and a lovely well grown plant! Can't help with an ID, sorry, but whatever it is - its stunning!

Whatever it is .. it's gorgeous :nod:
Is it fragrant? :hmm

It's spectacular! Why not call it Juli?

I can see why it's your favorite. Wonderfully grown.

Thank you all for your responses!
Dorothy- yes it is fragrant, has a delicate sweet scent.
Judi- that’s a good idea...I may call it Juli from now...

Fragrant? :o
Bonus :):Tup:

It has a real strong L. purpurata look to it, may be in it's parentage.

WOW Juli you sure have a beautiful catt. Wish I could help you with the name but like Judi said why not call it Juli? Enjoy the fragrance. You are doing something right to get so many blooms.
