    Default Cattleya ID

    This Cattleya was a gift from a friend. It has no name yet.

    What do you think her name is?

    Any suggestions?

    Oh, it is stunning. What a nice friend! I have a few white catts with yellow centers, but they all look different than this one, so I am afraid I cannot offer an identification. I am sure someone will be able to help you though.

    Cheers,
    BD

    I agree that it is lovely - but I can't identify it either.

    Wanda, it looks like Cattleya labiata, but without the purple along with the yellow, it must be a hybrid. Joe

    Hi Doug...I can't seem to find a pic of the Cattleya Easter Glory 'Purity' to compare. Do you have one?

    Wanda, I have a link but it is on a commercial grower's web site so I might be in violation of the terms of service if I post it. However, if you go to google and enter the following (note the placement of the quotes).

    Cattleya "Easter Glory Purity"

    You will find a link, scroll down a little on that page and you should find it.

    Hope this helps, Doug
