I love it.
Always had a soft spot for "plush".

When I first got into orchids 30 years ago, there were no phals in every store. You had to go out of your way to find the few plant shops that would carry orchids....and, besides white phals and green cymbidiums, Cambria "Plush" was ubiquitous in these stores. I still think it beats any other Vuyl or related cross, but it seems to have disappeared....I miss it. Love this variation!

Nice. I shudder when I think about how i tortured Vulky's to death in hot dry apartments.

what is the difference between 'plush' and 'carousel'? Anyone know the history there? are they siblings? is 'carousel' from a 'plush' selfing? from a remake?

Plush has much more red in the petals if I recall correctly. Other than that no info.
