This is a very compact catt, but packs in a lot of color!

I have 1. Actually, I have 3 but that's a story for another day but will tell you how much my wife liked it.
Camera's have a very difficult time duplicating the actual color assuming yours is the same because mine is what I call a "hot magenta".
The color in the pic above is more red to my eye.
Nicely done regardless what the real color is!

[Kmac]

Yes, you are right....cameras have a hard time capturing it. Mine's really a bit more red.

What a fabulous flower Kathi! Love the color and lip!

[Brutal_Dreamer]

I am trying to find basic care instructions: day & night temps., light requirements, water, humidity, fertilizer needs for Rlc Hawaiian Prominence ‘American. Thanks for help. KellyDoe, newbie at OrchidTalk

Hi Kelly— it is in the cattleya family, so it likes bright light (not direct sunlight, but bright), and likes to dry out or nearly so between waterings. I give mine the same humidity (50-70%) as the rest of my orchids. Temps anywhere between 55-90, doesn’t seem to care about Day/night differences. Fertilizer weekly Would be good, but mine gets it more like once a month. Weak fertilizer...remember in their home their only fertilizer is whatever debris, bird dropping etc are washed down when it rains. I use a bark mix formulated for cattleyas, but i think any bark mix would be ok. Good luck!!
