Can you give my new catt a name
 

This is a beauty, I couldn't pass up, even if it was nameless. 2 leaf, It is a creamy white 6" across, yellow lip 2" wide with fringe at the bottom. Just a dab of rose on the bottom of the lip. Fragrance is lemons :)

Impossible! No way with all the white Cattleya hybrids. It's Cattleya Noid.

Thanks Glad to know its a cattleya, and not a Bc, Lc, Slc, or something else.

I'd call it Kitty or Fluffy :biggrin:

lol I was thinking the citron catt but lets see if it will follow me home ....here kitty kitty come on kitty

hey call it citron rose?

Lemon Fluff is perfect, it's really pretty isn't it.?

With a lip like that and a lemon scent, it deffinately has Rhyncholaelia digbyana in its back ground. It is lovely.

I'm sure Ron was using Cattleya in the sense of the whole alliance, not specifically the genus. It is almost certainly what used to be called a Bc. or Blc. (and now probably Rlc.) It appears to have a significant percentage of Rhyncholaelia (Brassavola) digbyana in its ancestry, and also the big floofy monofoliate Cattleya types. It doesn't appear to have much influence from bifoliate Cattleya or 'Laelia' stock, or any 'Sophronitis'. It isn't going to be possible to be certain of any specific identification.

Exactly!

Paph could you explain "no bifoliate cattleya or laelia stock influence, " I thought bifoliate meant two leaf. Thanks
