C. Caudebec 'Carmela' HCC/AOS
 

I bought this plant on Ebay last year, and went to pick it up (from Waldor Orchids). When I got there, they had both 'Carmela' (2N) and 'Linwood' (4N) in bloom in the sales room, so somehow I ended up with one of each.

This year 'Linwood' shipped blooming (flower spike aborted), but 'Carmela' is giving me a nice showing:

I'd say that's a beautiful showing. I have this plant also, but it's not quite blooming size. I would be doing the happy dance if it ever blooms like yours!

WOW! :love: Spectacular!

Outstanding! It's really putting on a show for you in the greenhouse.

Wow, what a gorgeous plant. Your green house is full of such beautiful plants.

Thank you for sharing ...

I saw 'Linwood' yesterday at Waldor Orchids and it was amazing!

I could not resist it when I saw it. However, according to Dave Off, the most they have ever seen is 10 or 11 flowers per spike.

The 'Carmela' clone can have significantly more, which makes up for the smaller flower size. Here is a photo of the two side by side taken last year.
