A rather unusual cattleya...Lc Chiou-Jye Chen "Da Jiaou"
I can't recall ever seeing this colour before. I just could not resist adding it to my collection.
PS have just checked it out in Orchid wiz - it seems that I misread the label, that should be Jye not Lye ; but this is a far, far finer thing than the variety illustrated in that source.
I bought it at the British Congress at the week-end - along with one or two other interesting things - a Schombo x catt hybrid, a Neofinetia x Papiolanthe hybrid, a good blue cluster catt', and an assortment of mini species. BTW I got a couple of ribbons - for a Masadevallia and for my Howeara Lava Burst which was second in the Oncidiniae xclass. In view of the very high standard at the show, I was very pleased with that.
I may post some pics, but I used my iPad camera, and whilst the file size is big enough for a decent pic, maybe the lens isn't, and I am a bit disappointed there.
