Eric, Great plant!
That is my absolutely favorite "ex-Cattleya"!

Wow, that is gorgeous plant, Eric. Need to write a macro that types that.

Why is it no longer a Catt?

Guarianthe (skinneri, aurantiaca, bowringiana) were separated from Cattleya in 2003, I think. Flowers are really different from "classical" Cattleya and they are species from Central America, not south America.
Thank you.

Hmm, maybe that is why I like these better than classical Cattleya. Thank you for the explanation, Eric.
