    Default Blc California Girl x Bc Deese

    This cattelya looks very much like Blc Mahina Yahiro 'Ulii' but the colour is less vibrant, more subdued in the mould of its Bc Deese parent. However the flower is larger about 7 ins across, and it is less free flowering than Mahina Yahiro.

    Beautiful form - just as flat as they like them over here at the AOS! You're right about Mahina Yahiro - same idea, although mine was (is?????) a fairly bubble gum pinkish.
