Large flowered Cattleya NOID
 

After the flowers had faded, this plant was bought at a very low price from a garden center by a friend of mine. She was so happy with the plant that she also painted it, and gave a division and her painting to me. Sadly some years later she suddenly died.
I love especially the rich coloured lip with the red ring. It could be a hybrid influenced by C. trianae, but I have no name. For me it carries the name and memories of a good fried.

Lovely.

That is lovely and the painting is well done as well.

What a great remembrance of your friend. Beautiful!

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. The orchid is beautiful. I don't know the name but the colors are really nice.

Lovely! So sorry for your loss - both the painting and the inspiration for it are lovely remembrances

Love the color of the flower and the painting is really great

Sorry to hear of your loss. But what a beautiful memory as are the flowers. And such nice wide petals. I also especially like the picotee edge on the lip. Elegant!

Anyone who combines friendship, art, and orchids is a friend of mine! That's wonderful.

Great way to remember your friend. Beautiful flowers.
