surprise

Anyone can guess what this orchid is on my adventure through the OrquiDeValle orchid nursery in Cali, Colombia? Three guesses… And yes, I did get a division!!!

One of my novelties grown by my good friend David (in mirror) who is one of the best cattleya growers I have ever seen. Bright yellow background with red embers blazed in it lol.

I love novelty Phals especially the reds. This dark cordovan red hybrid owned by me and grown by my orchid buddy (DB) so beautifully received an HCC/AOS (79 points), just missed the AM by 0.2! Life’s tough lol.
