    Default Cattleya Dusky Maid 'Christina'

    One of our red cattleyas is blooming currently. I always love this orchid. My tag was hand written and had a mistake but I have corrected it now. Previously I posted this cattleya orchid as LC Dusty Maid 'Christina' - but now realize it is Dusky Maid 'Christina' and of course the genus has been changed back to Cattleya.

    Wow, Bruce, that is a beauty, whether it's dusty or dusky! The lip looks like velvet.
