Potinara Regal Red 'Paradise'
 

I purchased this in 2011 from Ruben in Orchids. This is the first time it blooms. Hope you all enjoy.

I like that a lot....and I'm not always a fan of the big gaudy Cattleyas!

What lovely blooms. :D And nice photos.

Gorgeous colors and love the red velvet lip.

Beautiful, and lovely color!

Hi Pee Wee! Very nice mini catt. Love the nice clear color here. Very well grown. Looks like a little guignardia on last years leaf. Keep it on the dry side or use some systemic fungicide. I love the pot too. You grow nice orchids. Next year repot it by dropping it into the next size pot and turn it so this growth is in the center. You grew this really well so you should get two good buds growing on it. Maybe even three. You might even get one off last years pbulb. When you drop it in the next size, knock the bottom out of this pot. Makes better ventilation of the root mass. Nice plant.

Wow! That's a beautiful red cattleya. Good growing.

very nice, maria! beautiful red! good growing!

That is a stunning plant! very nice!

Beautiful! Fabulous color!
