Pretty!

What genus is ctna?

[Brutal_Dreamer]

Love my ctna why not. It is one of the first orchids I posted on OrchidTalk and one of the ones that survived the freeze in the greenhouse last month. I'm so thankful it did. Yours is blooming beautifully.

Pretty!

What genus is ctna?

Cattleytonia, which is Broughtonia x Cattleya. See here: http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchid...-orchidc2.html

Harvey Cattleytonia (Ctna.) is a combination of a Cattleya (C.) with a Broughtonia (Bro.)

Selvi are there color breaks in the flower or am I just looking at light reflection?

[78Terp]

Thanks for the link. I have already used it to look up another one of mine which I didn't understand the abbreviation of.

I'll be posting pics of the flowers as they are starting to open. 2 out of 14 are open so far. It was the other orchid purchased when I got the paph Val Ablaze.

Yes Ron there is color breaks.....and i am loving it.

[Ron-NY]

Selvi...with color breaks I would be concerned that it might likely be infected by a virus.

[ksriramkumar]

Agree with Ron. color breaks could be due to a fertilizer burn or due to a virus. how long have you been having this plant?.

[Halloamey]

They are not color breaks, lloks more like a photo and light reflection issue and this is a nice hybrid but its not Guaritonia Why not.

[lakshmanamoorthy]

Got a better picture of the same...
@ Sriram kumar and Ron : I dont think that it is due to virus coz plant is healthy and i bought this plant 2 years back... and it is continuously blooming for 2 months :-)

It may be due to light reflection as Amey said.... I could see color difference when taken in my mobile phone!!, may be i'll try with a better camera next time..
