It is Lc. Mini Song 'Magenta Flare'

I identified my own orchid, thanks to someone who posted a Lc in the wanted section. When I went in to post a wanted for Galeandra batemanii and Anguloa ruckeri, I noticed a listing for Lc. Magenta something-or-other. A light went on in my brain, remembering something like Magenta Flare. So I went into my orchid document, and there it was, listed as being in an unknown location in my apartment.

Thanks to those who confirmed that it was a cat hybrid.

Original post follows:

By the thick leaves and its growth habit, I think this is a Cattleya, but maybe not.

Nonetheless, it's a reliable bloomer, several times a year for the last 3 or 4 years. I lost the name tag, and would love to know what it is.

I grow it on my kitchen window sill, which faces west.

If anyone can help with the ID, I'd sure appreciate it.

Bob

Definitely a Cattleya hybrid. With hundreds of similar hybrids you are not likely to get a precise identification.

Yes sir it's a cattleya. I have one that is similar but there are so many out there I couldn't give you a definite name. Be glad it is such a dependable bloomer for you.
