A charming small flower, a bare 2 inch in natural spread on an equally small plant. I bought it under the name shown, and with the tag HCC/AOS added - but Orchidwiz has no Chrystelle at all, and nothing similar with Smith added on - hence my querying "sic".
But if I can grow it on to have several growths flowering together it will be a nice little addition to my collection.

Of coures if anyone recognises it, and has a better name, I'd be glad to know.

Good color for the bloom, I like the vibrant yellow lip!

A very nice example of C. (Sc.) Crystelle Smith (Beaufort x loddigesii), and I have no doubt that name is correct. There are a dozen HCC/AOS awarded clones, but even if pictures of all were available it could be difficult to know which this might be.

Very lovely!

Thank you for that Kirk. I should have thought that (my label was misspelled) for myself. Orchidwiz does have it, and my flower is about 99% the same as the clone Riverbend HCC?AOS.
