Cattleya dowiana var.aurea
 

This one does it for me. :waving

Wow!! That's some lip! It's gorgeous. Great growing! :D

Yours is so beautiful…I just ordered the Cattleya dowiana var. Rosita but mine is such a baby its gonna be awhile before anything happens and thats if I dont manage to kill it…sigh..:faint:

I generally don't go for the "floofy" type Cats, but this one is fantastic! Nice flowers.

What do you mean by floofy…?…:scratchhead:..I'm just starting to get familiar with orchid word terms...:)

Floof = Lotsa ruffles. :)

You got it! :biggrin:

lol …the word girlie was coming to mind…:lol:

LOL Jo Ann that's what my son calls those. Girlie flowers. :)

:clap: Super! This is what I call the dream orchid! It is magnificent for a species forged by nature. I bought a compot a couple of years ago and the plants are now 12cm. Long wait until they bloom. Congrats again!
