Do we like big, pink and fluffy, with an acceptable dorsal? HAPPY NEW AND BETTER YEAR!

Lovely ( is there anything like this that is a little smaller for a windowsill grower?)

There are a lot of mini cattleyas. Gold Country Orchids (Alan Koch) and Sunset Valley Orchids (Fred Clarke) are two great sources.

an oldie but a beauty. Great display.

This is my idea of an excellent floofy Catt. With an excellent dorsal, of course. It's just elegant!

 

[Phragper]

just beautiful. Isn’t it so nice to have these blooming

 

[Just1more]

Just beautiful! Is it fragrant? I,m with Linus & would love to find that color in a mini. Might happen some day!

Nicely grown, too!

Ray, as usual you are correct. Too much of a hurry.
I don’t know how to correct this error on this site to avoid any confusion.

Lovely, douce colours and then that yellow in the middle, uplifting like the sun we are yearning for!

Happy Better Year to you too, Tom, and to all!

Ah, I see, you have Angela in mind!

Gorgeous classic, and beautifully grown! Is this 'Mission Valley' AM/AOS or another named variety?

A 1952 hybrid that is a true heritage plant of Cattleya breeding with 1,461 hybrids listing Nacouchee in their backgrounds. That size is amazing. Keep it safe.

Déesse truly gave us so many great pastel pink/purple raspberry lip hybrids.
