Cattleya eldorado venosa ‘Pink Dolphins’ (syn: wallisii)

[DrLeslieEe]

I named this un-named mericlone to educate and save the pink dolphins of the Amazon. In Brazilian, it’s ‘Borboleta Rosa’. Another is in bud so let’s see how it turns out.

Leslie, wallisii is noted to be warm growing, like lawrenceana and maybe another unifoliate species. How cool do your temperatures get in the winter months? Maybe these warm growers tolerate our northern conditions in the winter if spring/summer/fall are warm enough?

Nice thing!
I like the marbling effect on the petals.

 

[LadySlipper]

Simply dazzling. How long does its bloom last?

Love it! The lip is exquisite!

The flower is nice, but the good intentions about the pink dolphins is much better.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Thanks all.

I must correct the Brazilian translation to ‘Boto Cor de Rosa’ aka Pink Dolphins.
