    hi everyone

    I'm a new to orchid growing and after doing some research on the subject i chose this catt from the local nursery. however it did not come with an identification tag- can anyone identify what cat this is? pseudobulbs are 21cm long, leaves 30cm , flower is 19cm across. any help would be appreciated.

    here's a pic of it in bloom. hope it helps.

    It is lovely, but there are so many cattleyas.... Maybe Cattmad will see this post.

    Pale pink with yellow in the throat MIGHT be one called Hawaiian Agenda. But that could be incorrect too.
