Help to identify this Cattleya
 

I bought this Cattleya with a missing tag and the flower almost at the end of the life. Is large about 6 inches, color yellow with the lip in purple, was in bloom in Feb.

Any idea what is the name? Here is a pic.

Thanks :waving

Impossible to identify with certainty. It's a Noid.

Thanks for trying, since to be you have a lot knowledge, I can see that you able to identify in others ocassion. I guess will remain as a NOID. :D

Species can be identified, but hybrids are so variable and there are so many of them that correct identification is impossible and attaching a name to them because a person thinks it looks like a certain hybrid is irresponsible.

Beautiful flower, there are so many great cattleyas, they are my favorite, with such showy blooms. Enjoy!

Fully back the statement about being irresponible to attach a name to something thats not 100% that plant.

However, I do think you could do your own investigating and come up with your own set of determinants and I will help you in that direction. It looks to me very much like a Blc. Chunyeah. Look that up, look up the hybrids that comprise it and hybrids using that as a parent and Im certain you could find somewhere to settle.

Thanks Carol,

For looking at my questions, apparently we have the same growing conditions, you are in Vero Beach, I'm here is West Palm Beach.

Thanks again

I'm going to try that road, I already was trying to match the picture with some similar in the website.

Thanks

At least it's a very pretty noid right?
