    It's gorgeous, Laura! It's a primary hybrid between Catt. mossiae x Laelia purpurata. Yours is a var. coerulea awarded in 2003, but it isn't clear which parent was the var. coerulea, if not both.

    Lovely photo!

    Laura,

    What a great Website you have! You should shoot Bruce, aka Brutal Dreamer, the link and see if he'll add you to our links. I'm sure everyone would enjoy seeing your little menagerie!

    gorgeous color! julie, likely both parents were forma (fma.) coerulea as this is quite recessive. technically the hybrid cannot have a variety or forma but this is commonly used to designate color.
