Cattleya Minerva 'Garrett' AM/AOS

[eggshells]

I can't take credit on this one as my fiance grew and bloom this. I got it as a division of the original awarded plant. I gave most of my cattleyas to her when I went nuts and got into paphs. She wasn't at all into orchids and I kinda force her to adopt all the cattleyas. Prior to this, she only know one kind of orchid and its phals.

Beautiful flowers!!!!

But what is the cross? This is a nice example that switching orchids from one genus into another one (ex. Laelia => Cattleya) doesn't make it easier : 3 Minervas for Cattleya, and 2 for Rhyncholaeliocattleya in the RHS db!??
