C. Green Emerald 'Orchid Queen'

[Dorsetman]

I posted pics of another plant of the same grex ( Green Emerald) in August ; this one however is an awarded form ( AM/AOS) and distinctly better. The flowers open quite a dark green colour, but after a couple of days, when fully grown and flat as shown here, the colour has faded to this.
I do like these spotted flowers, they also have great substance and last for ages - due to the influence ( usually) of C. aclandiae in the background. Now that my cattleyas all seem to be growing well, I shall look out for some of the species, including aclandiae, although quality is guaranteed when buying meristem tissue propagations of awarded plants, and they are rarely available in the species - it is more a matter of luck with seed raised plants.

Spotted ones are some of my favourites as well. This one is gorgeous!

So true, seed raised have so many variations. Your flowers are very nice...great form.
