Got this about three years ago. This is the first time it bloomed for me. Plants in this genus have genes from Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia, and Sophronitis. Now that Sophronitis has been replaced by Cattleya, depending on which Laelia is (are) in this plant, the plant might actually be Bc. Green Emerald. Whatever, if you like spotted bifoliate hybrids, this one should make you happy.
The only Green Emerald that the RHS has listed is a Cattleya. With all the changes, tI wouldn't be that big a surprise that all the parents were reclassified to Cattleya.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, that is a very pretty flower. It is always a great feeling when a plant blooms for the first time.
