BLC 'Lester McDonald'
 

I just picked up this one at the orchid show in my town last weekend. All three buds were yet to open until today. I was excited. I thought you guys might like it since I did a search here for it and couldn't find anything. http://a479.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...c789af50fe.jpg

Wow what a beauty! :nod:
Please :biggrin: post photos when it's full open ..
I sure it will be stunning being it's parents are Sc. Ann Follis X Rhyncholaelia digbyana :o

Oooooo....SO SO SO pretty!
Thanks for posting the :photo:

:drool:

lys, what a lovely Blc. went to the same show this past weekend. Your charmer caught my eye, unfortunately majority seen were way to big for my growing area. You pick a real charmer :clap:

Wow, love the color combo. Is it fragrant?
Wasn't someone looking for the id name on a green/pink type catt elsewhere on OB? Hmmmm, I think this is more vibrant colors then that. :dunno:

lys- If you'd like the lineage, I can post it .. I charted it up quite quickly :biggrin: ..that is, if you are curious ;)
I was quite surprise what goes into this hybrid :nod:
Ki-ki - good memory ;).. amygator was looking for one under the classifieds

Wow thanks everyone for the responses. I will definitely post some more pics when the blooms finish. What can I say- I just couldn't wait! I'd love all the info I can get. Kiki-do to answer your question: to be honest I have a cold right now :( so I can't smell anything! I'll keep you posted! Thanks again- you guys are super cool :)

Here is it's lineage :)
This Blc is now referred to as Rhynchosophrocattleya
because Brassavola digbyana is now known as Rhyncholaelia digbyana :D
I know, I know .. :faint: those darn taxomonical changes :((

That is one stunning bloom. I can't wait to see it fully opened. Is it a standard sized catt or more compact. I have space issues so won't put it on my list unless it's compact or smaller. Thanks :waving

The grower told me this would get enormous over time. Sorry! But for me it's perfect since I have tons of space.
As for the blooms, this morning all three have opened, but they are all still looking like they need more time. Anyone ever experience blooms not fully opening? Maybe I'm just being impatient!
