Who am I?

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

I've very careful but occasionally I lose a tag. This is a well known Catt. clone but the ID has fallen out of the pot. It flowered in the heat of the summer, but if I remember correctly if it flowers in color temperatures the petal are pure white. Can anyone identify this guy?

My guess is that's it's BL. Richard Mueller crossed with something.

I'm sure of one thing, and that is that it is one of the catts. that have been cloned is was widely available.

I was about to say "Bob in Albany NY" oke:

I didnt know you were asking about a catt.

 

[NYEric]

Definitely BL, I dont know about the catt.

Can't help on the name, but I LOVE the flower! :drool:

How 'bout Bc. Sunset Glory? Richard Mueller is a parent, and the photo of Sunset Glory in OrchidWiz kind of looks like your flower.

This is not a Cattleya, but a Cattleya-hybrid of some sort ... From the lengths and narrowness of the lip, I would guess there is either bowringiana or skinnery involved (probably bowringiana) ... But who knows what else?

Looks a bit like Hoku Gem to me, but not 100%. The spotting and depth of orange overlay on this hybrid is variable depending on temp, light, etc. Hoku Gem has long, pointy, narrow leaves too.

I thought the same thing Marco!

Looking again, I think Joanne might have something. We bloomed a handful of Sunset Glory (Richard Mueller X purpurata) seedlings (not clones), and some looked a lot like this. I just saw one in spike in the range and reminded me. The flowers of Sunset Glory are way bigger than Hoku Gem, but not big by Cattleya standards by any means.
