Help further ID this Lc for me please

[Randy]

Greetings,

I have had this plant on our show table twice and both times I have gotten a first place, The first time it had 3 flowers on 1 spike, this time it had 5 on 2. Thank you.

When I got it, it had a tag that had it as Laliocattlia Tatsura Obara. However, my friends in my orchid society cannot find that cultivar name anywhere, which is why I am asking for help in making an identification.

It is a large plant with flowers that are 2.5-3" across and extreemly fragrant. The flowers are long lasting too. Each flower lasts about 1 month and it flowers this time of year, every year like clockwork. It's one of those that's great to have in your collection because you can have fragrant flowers for the house in the summer. You have to admit some other fragrant flowers, like Gongoras and Stanhopeas are a little hard to bring inside because you have to hang them and the water goes everywhere!!

Bless you for any help!!
Randy

I just went to Orchid Wiz, and it is Lc. (laeliocattleya) Tetsuro Obara. It is a cross of (Lc. Mildred Rives x C. walkeriana) Nice plant, great pic

It's actually Sophrocattleya Tetsuro Obara (Sophrocattleya Mildred Rives x Cattleya walkeriana)

They have changed the name from the Lc to Sc.


...and it's lovely, Randy!
