A little pink cattleya cross in bloom today. (Not sure if it has been named or not.)

Nope, not registered.

That really confused me at first, as there are two very famous cultivars of Jewel Box - 'Dark Waters' and 'Scheherazade' . I wasn't aware there was a grex named Scheherazade.

Hi Ray, do you believe I miss-understood the tag? This was one of the orchids that was given to me by Gin when I adopted her collection a few years ago. It was small then and I haven't repotted it yet, so it still has her original tag which is handwritten. Usually the cultivars of an orchid's name appear in some form of quotes. I just assumed that since Scheherazade appeared after the "x" without anything else, it was the cattleya hybrid and not a different cultivar of Jewel Box. Take a look at the tag and let me know what you think, please....



Cheers,
