    Question Cattleya Souvenir Delavisis X Cattleya Bob Betts

    This tag is a bit hard to read, but I know the last part Bob Betts is correct, it is the last word in the first part of the cross I am unsure about. Anyone recognize it?

    There is a Cattleya Souvenir de Louis Sander which was crossed with Cattleya Bob Betts to produce Cattleya Augusta Rutledge.

    Would love to see an image of this cross to compare. I just looked in OrchidWiz, but did not see an image.

    It looks SO much like my Bob Betts, which I absolutely love! Does it smell nice? Is the flower huge? I can't recommend the Bob Betts enough to anyone that likes huge floofy white catts! There, I had to include it...

    It is very similar to Bob Betts in size and fragrance.
