Grt. Why Not 'yellow'

[taiping orchid]

The Grt. Why Not 'yellow' that I acquired last year just bloomed. The plant is still small, so not many flowers. The other picture is the normal Grt. Why Not.

'Grt' stands for Guaritonia, a new intergeneric name between Guarianthe and Broughtonia.

I have the red form, but would love to have a yellow one too!!

I found it: Guaricattonia: Guaritonia = Guarianthe X Cattleya X Broughtonia, then add in a Cattleytonia, and bobs your uncle!
