    Beautiful photo, Horst, as usual! Wow - that is one floriferous mini-catt - is there auriantica in the background? Or is there another small-flowered catt-type species I'm trying to think of? (not really my area, as you can probably tell). Oh, well... I always like to learn something new when I see something so pretty.

    As you can see, no C. aurantiaca in the background.
    This beauty is the result of a cross in between two primary hybrids.

    For your information:
    Gct. is Guaricattonia
    Grt. is Guaritonia
    Ctna is Cattleytonia
    Gur. is Guarianthe
    Bro. is Broughtonia
    C. is Cattleya

    Aha - it was bowringiana I was thinking of. Thanks for taking the trouble to post the parentage - I always appreciate learning something new.

    Wow...I like the way the flowers form a lovely ball of color up top the plant! And the flowers are just the loveliest color... Nice one!

    That's beautiful! The breeders have really come up with some wonderful mini-catts in the last few years.

    This is very nice Horst. I have hybrids from Grt. Brandi which are great but not a straight Brandi, definitely have to get one.
