I got this last weekend at the Taimiami Orchid Festival and did not realize until I got home that there was no id tag, I know it is in the Cattleya family but have no idea what type any ideas?

No idea, but unless this is a species orchid, it will be almost impossible to ID. Cattleyas have been heavily hybridized, so without a tag, it will always be a NOID. I would, however, call up the grower, show them the picture and ask for an ID. Better if you can email them and show a chain of identification for the plant, then you confirm it's ID that way.

It's lovely though! Just lovely! If this were a miniature, I would get one for myself, ID or not.

If I could only remember who the vendor is I would have done that. I am hoping that they will be at the Ft. Lauderdale Orchid Festival this weekend. I know it is almost impossible to know the exact species but if I could only know if it is a C., Bc., Blc, Lc., Slc., or Rlc., that would be ok by me, I could name it ??? Taimiami and be satisfied!

The flowers actually look similar to a Potinara that my daughter killed. Take a look at those and see if that seems reminiscent of your plant. How big is it and how big did the grower say it was going to get?

It's Ctt. Siamese Doll. They're in bloom all over South Florida right now.

Yeah I bought one last year at the show and it's about to bloom. A lot of people were selling it in bud again this year at that show.
