    Default need and ID

    I nursed this orchid back to health from a Home Improvement store I used to work for. It had no ID. The bloom is as big as my palm.



    Any ideas?

    Umm...goodluck with an ID, i would wager the odds of finding one would be close to 1/1,000,000,000 lol
    Maybe someone here has the same plant though? Never know!

    Well, it looks a lot like Rlc Yen Corona...the most common cultivar of that cross is "Green Genie" and it is not quite that, but maybe 'Little Spirit'? At any rate, if you treat it like any other cattleya hybrid, it should be happy. Lovely orchid, congrats on a great rescue!!!
