Rudolf, I'm blushing... but thank you!

I don't think I've seen one with this degree of spotting before. It has a nice open form, too. Well done!

 

[Ozpaph]

Is this the only know clone with spotting?

I have no idea... but with meristem cloning it exists in abundance!

I love squat fatty bulbs cattleya, and you have been a master gardener nurturing yours aurantiaca. Deep orange tone also!
Bravo Guidal!

Selfing it also creates spotted plants. I’m also aware of selfings of ‘Spotted Queen’ that came out true to color

Well grown Jens. Love the spotting.

I never really liked this species but seeing this form with spots I think I have to get one 'Mishima Spots' where did you purchase it?

Searching for it as Guarianthe aurantiaca 'Mishima Spots' might bring up more options
It looks like Seattle Orchids has the clone and Krull-Smith has the selfing. Might be a few more available too

Well if Krull-Smith has some then I'll probably have one soon
Gurarianthe? Isn't that what bowringiana was re- classified to?

I bought it from a Polish orchid vendor as a somewhat smallish young plant.... and was actually very curious as to see whether it turned out to be what the name tag said. I'm very happy with the result!

 

[abax]

Never mind the spots...that saturated color is sparkling and so cheerful

 

[Guldal]

Gurarianthe? Isn't that what bowringiana was re- classified to?

Both aurantiaca and bowringiana were Guarianthe before they together with so many other plants were transferred to Cattleya.

The lip or third petal is not so altered on this species.
