They are stunning: love #3

The third one Lars is much more diminutive than the other two. The flowers have a less formal look, appearing simpler and less "hybridized" than #1 and the Kagawara.

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone. Red does liven up the garden!

The first 3 pictures are mokaras. The intense red colour and faint spots are indicative of Mkra Sayan x Ascda Meda Arnold crosses. You are right about Christie Low.

Thank you Yew Sung.
I think that the first three photos are those of the Mokara Dinah Shore. It looks very much the same as my plant: color, spots, shape of flower, column (anthers) , lip, and even the dark spike.

Pictures which are labeled Mkra Sayan x Ascda Meda Arnold show a lighter greenish spike and flowers with a slightly different shape. However, I don't know the parentage of the Mkra Dinah Shore. For all I know, it may share the same ancestry as the Mkra Sayan x Ascda Meda Arnold.

Thanks Culanluasg. I saw your posts and you have the most fantastic cattleyas. I'm not very good with cattleyas but I try.

Could well be Mkra Dinah Shore ( Aranda Christine x Ascda Yip Sum Wah ) - which is an older cross but looks very similar. Both Meda Arnold and Yip Sum Wah are prolific parents and impart brilliant attractive colours to their offsprings.

Again, thank you Yew Sung especially for the names of the parents of Mkra Dinah Shore.
Now, I hope you can help Amey with the identity of the first orchid photo in Message #2. I think that is the one she likes to have. ;-0

Sorry can't ID it but most probably a kagawara judging from the colour and the slightly upturned lateral sepals and the more open shape indicating a renanthera influence.
