Gorgeous Flowers, But No Name!
 

Here are a few pics of a new plant I got a few weeks ago (simply labeled as 'Dendrobium') - it was budding at the time of purchase and in the last few days just popped its flowers... it was quite a nice surprise :) It's a very healthy plant with thick leaves and only 2 per stalk. The labellum is a darker pink than the petals/sepals.

I'm pretty new to Dends - can anyone shed a little light on this plant's name (or at least get me in the ballpark?). Is this a nobile? The flowers look a little Cattleya-like to me...

Thanks!

Addy, This is a cattleya.

Do'h, I thought this was suspicious looking, but I thought these might have had atypical cane morphology or something... One more dupe that has fallen victim to orchid growers' mislabeling. Thanks for the heads up, though. I guess this makes this plant my first Cattleya :)

Perhaps an admin would be kind enough to move this thread to the Cattleya forum? :lol:

This is not a dendrobium.
To me, it looks like Lc. Puppy Love (C.Dubiosa x L.anceps), clones of which are quite widely available.
