Darn, and I was thinking of sneaking over there in the dark of night. Bet you're somewhere in the tropics, right?

I believe this is one my grandfather won a prize for creating. How do I find out?

Hello Jenna Girl, I got this information from Orchidwiz.
This cultivar of Cattleya Lucille Small named 'Marshall' was awarded an AM/AOS on October 15th 1971 and an FCC/AOS in November 1973.
The exhibitor's name is Ernest C. Marshall Jr. from Plymouth Florida. The hybrid has been registered by Earl J. Small. Earl J. Small also exhibited 2 other cultivar which have won awards, the remaining award winning clones have been exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Tooley from Durban SA. And by Mr and Mrs Crick from Florida. This Cattleya has a total of 11 awards.

I believe this is one my grandfather won a prize for creating. How do I find out?

Thank you for that information. My grandfather Robert Cryder's wife is Lucille who he hybrid with her name from the Honey (his mother). He made lots of hybrids but did not register them all. I do remember a flower like this one in a Large 4 x 4 print or so on this mantle with a ribbon for years. ???? I wonder what orchid that was.

There's nothing quite like a fragrant classic white cattleya. Absolutely beautiful!
