    Default Pot. Samantha Duncan 'Orange Tart' (Slc. Little Precious x Pot. Hawaiian Prominence)

    This is the first bloom for this little plant, and the first orchid bloom I can really, really claim as being entirely due to my care.


    I love the enthusiastic orange-red color on this plant; I don't think it realizes it's only in a 2 inch pot!

    I hadn't appreciated how hard it is to get the right color in a photo before taking this - the lip is a brick red color that I just could not capture without losing the red and orange stripes on the petals.

    What a pretty flower! I love the color, and understand how hard those lovely red flowers are to photograph. Very nice one...those Samantha Duncan's are so nice. I'm wondering if these are named for the actress. I love every one i've seen so far.

    Pretty little cattleya! It IS difficult to photograph orchids...especially anything with even a leaning towards red. I tend to not worry so much about it. I pick what looks most accurate on my screen and that's that! Everyone's device is going to read things differently anyway.

    A beautiful little catt. Lovely colour and I'm sure the real thing looks even better.
