Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter in bloom - Orchid Board

In september I bought this orchid labelled as cambria. It seems to be a Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter.

What do you think? Is it a Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter or Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy'?

Could anyone give some care tips?

Well - it's lovely either way! My Bllra bloomed in a west facing window - and I don't let it dry completely.

It looks like my Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter -- pics from last year. My plant does not have a variety name.

That's gorgeous!

I have a Beallara Tahoma Glacier in S/H (which it loves). It gets as much light as it will tolerate and seems to like it in the 80's. If it gets into the 90's it starts to sulk.

I fertilize weakly weekly with 20-20-20.

It blooms almost constantly.

I think these are gorgeous orchids. The blooms are pretty but mine has the scent of raid.
This is the 'Morning Joy" clone

Thanks for the pictures and the advices.

After seeing your pics, it looks like Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter, with no variety name.

All of these are gorgeous! I have one, and it's just finishing up blooming now. I had 2 spikes this year, with about 8 buds per spike. Unfortunately a few blasted since I had to travel with it.
