    Default Cattelya venosa = loddigesii x forbesii

    I keep a few orchids at work, since I have a perfect south window by my desk. But they are hidden behind the drapes ;-). I was planning to bring them home when in bloom, but now that this one flowers I think I'll keep it at work!

    Love the subtle coloring and clean lines of this hybrid, elegant and understated where so many Catt hybrids are gaudy. Thanks for posting.
