Pot. Hawaiian Prominence 'America'
 

This compact cattleya is a very dark, velvety red that just doesn't come through very well in the picture.

It's beautiful and I love the shape!

I love that breeding and I think the 'America' clone is the best. I'd like to pick another up if I could find a grower in the lower 48.

Beautiful! well done

To be honest, Cattleyas don't seem to catch my fancy (which is good, the less genus I like the better for my wallet), but this is one heck of a gorgeous flower.

Thank you for showing me that there are always exceptions to the rules. :)

I enjoy this one too. The color is so deep. Hope to get more than two flowers at a time on mine some day.

ooo! Beautiful!

WOW! different hues of red(scarlet, crimson and vermillion)...fuchia at the near-center and candlelight at the core...
This is a bright and beautiful flower. Very festive.

Wonderful shape and color. Well done.
