    If it's pink, it's not Why Not. They literally all look alike. (red)

    I did over-generalize-there has been at least one concolor yellow Why Not that came out of a selfing, 'Makana Ke Akua' HCC/AOS. Yours is a Broughtonia hybrid, though.

    I think it is a new hybrid, looks wonderful and very similar in form though. I will have to be on a lookout for such hybrids.

    Very nice cattleytonia. I have ever only seen red Why Not's and pictures of the yellow one mentioned by Michael.
    Orchids are very eloquent.They tell their master by their appearance , how they are treated.
