This is the first bloom from the NBS orchid that I won in the Haeralla project from Dave. Very nice compact Catt hybrid which used to be labeled as Potinara. I am growing it in s/h in full filtered sun at the very top of my converted shadehouse.

Sorry for the poor picture. I had to color correct. You can't see the white/cream streak down the middle of the petals but it is there. I believe it will be more prominent as the bloom ages and maybe more so in the next bloom cycle. Interestingly, this one does not have any orange blush markings. The bloom looks very even and fully flat open with no drooping. It's definitely a keeper. :biggrin:

I don't detect any fragrance.

ooo I love the color! good growing!

Sweet color!

Ooh, I like that Melissa, lovely colour.

Very light and delicate looking. This is a beautiful 'soft' bloom color. AL
