I have a couple of these currently in bloom in my collection. The flowers are eye-catching with their bright chartreuse sepals and petals and deep purple spotted lip. I have these plants growing under 50 percent shade cloth. At the time this photograph was taken, the plant had 3 flowers and one bud on one inflorescence.

Well, Sunshine, I guess it pays to live in a climate where you can grow such beauties....all of the pics I've seen of yours are just breath-taking. Congrats on a job well done!

Very, very, lovely. I just love the big "skirt" and the recurved sepals and petals. Makes me want to move to Hawaii. Thanks for the pic.

Default Oh Yeah!

Hawaiian SunShine,
Thanks for the great photo...and for giving me yet another beauty to add to my wish list!
Amongst others, I am partial to green cattleyas, and with the bright contrasting lip, I can't refuse.
Happy growing ~ David
