Ivory Cattleya ID... I think it is...

[MarioQ]

I bought this cattleya despite it is a NOID. A week ago there was an orchid fair in the near town of Coatepec with sellers from different Mexico cities. Since I saw it I suppose what it was, but it was a pity that the seller didn’t take care of naming (she told me it was from a batch of same seedlings) I don’t want to influence about what it may seem to you. I will like to read your opinions. And the fragrance is amazing!

Not sure, but looks like C. quadricolor (syn. C. candida) Nice form!

I think its more likely to be a hybrid

Sorry I can't help you on the ID but it's a beauty.

Thank you!!! To me it is a hybrid. And indeed, the shape is very nice.

I think the same.

I appreciate your line, certainly it will be a NOID forever, but a beauty too always.

Well, I will write what I suspect. Indeed, a NOID is a NOID, but since I saw it it seems to me that it is Rlc. George King 'Southern Cross'. It is very rare to find George King 'Serendipity' here in Mexico, just imagine to find the ivory-yellow clone. The lip has many clues to think that and ¡the amazing fragrance!...

Do you think am I right?

Thanks!

looks similar to images on the net, but who knows.

Stunning!

Clearly a hybrid and a very nice one. If it is ’southern cross’ then it should have a strong lemon scent during the day,

Oh wow, I do love the colors of that lip and the shape of the flower. I would have brought it home in a heartbeat even though I’m trying to curb my orchid cravings. I will look up Southern Cross
