Rlc. Port Royal Sound 'Mary Ellen' Am/Aos
It seems that this plant has been in my greenhouse since dinosaurs roamed the earth and it finally bloomed for the first time in Sept. 2014. I obtained it as a gift through my local society that gives an orchid to members at Christmas which is the reason I hung on to it. The true flower color which is a deep red is difficult to capture but it is fairly close.

You know, I have a soft spot for any red cattleya.
