Default C. Hawaiian Progress 'Carmela'
This is a very large lavender cattleya with a full round lip. The parents of this cross are Blc. Fred Stewart and Lc. Bonanza. The flowers measure six inches horizontally. I displayed this plant at the Honolulu Orchid Society Show this past weekend and won the Best Lavender Cattleya trophy.
