    Default Red Cattleya Orchid

    This is one of the fun things of this hobby is waiting to see what you have achieved when a cross you have done flowers. This one was done in 98 and I still enjoy it when it flowers.It is Sc Bright Angel X (Sc Rimfire X Gsl Solar Fire) and I still connot get the gloss on the flowers to show up.One day.

    Very nice, TEd! Good thing you have that large "moat" between us or I might find the temptation of making off with that lil beauty too much to handle!
