$5 HD 'baggie' blooms!
and it is a keeper.
Cattleya intermedia x BL Morning Glory; blooming now, and I bought the plant this spring (March?). Nothing like some buoyant heat and humidity to promote rabid growth.
Cheers - Nancy

Very nice Nancy! $5 is a DEAL!!! My local baggie orchid vendors mostly just stock the "froofy" varieties. I'd buy that one in a heartbeat!

Floofy is often referred to a Cattleya (orchid) flower that is frilly and fluffy(?), almost feminine in visual characteristics .. like a Flamenco dancer's dress .. it is usually the larger Catt blooms but there are some that are smaller in size also. 
If anyone else cares to elaborate on the 'floofy' definition - be my guest

Ah, floofy! And yet, though it fits the description, I'd never describe a digbyana as 'floofy' - more massive, brawny, stellar, spectacular...floofy sounds kind of - uh - sissy!

Semi-floofy, perhaps .. 
We have a few anti-floof-ite members (Ross for one ..  )
I am not one for flowers that are too floofy either though some are spectacular 
I have never considered a digby floofy .. I think the term refers more to the giant hybrid Catts ..
just like the term 'Cabbage Catts' which I believe refers to the size of the flower ...
