    Default Help to identify this cattleya

    I was given this plant a few years back. I hate when they don't have name tags. Anyway, any ideas?[ATTACH]Name: Tony's 2 (Small).JPG Views: 392 Size: 47.5 KB[/ATTACH]

    It looks like a Mueller cross....other than that ?? It's very pretty....maybe you can make a cute name up for it.

    Beautiful! Maybe Gerberara Snow Ballet? Is the spike tall, and bloom color changes to pure white after 2 weeks?

    The color change factor is common among Bl Richard Mueller crosses. Gerberara Snow Ballet is a cross between Dial. Snow Flake and Bl Richard Mueller. Mine is spiking, I hope it blooms soon.
