Silken, I too think the picture looks like C. luteola but the flower is large in comparision; about 3 1/2 inches. I looked at the Elizabeth parent and I didn't see any C. luteola in the backbground. That plant is, by the way, at the top of my want list.

that's neither a Cattleytonia Hybrid nor C. luteola!
I could pit my hands on fire for that being a nice C. forbessi!!
by the way, a very nice plant and great photo!

I just compared my plant with another on line photo of C. forbesii. They looked identical.
My plant is obviously mis-labeled.

The luteola's on OrchidWiz don't look a lot like this one. They look almost identical to Leisurely's bloom but so do the forbesii's!! |
