Does anyone know what the variation of this orchid is? I know it’s a Cattleya but I’ve lost the name tag :(

If it’s a hybrid, I’d guess it has some loddigesii and/or walkeriana in it.

thankyou! beautiful orchids you have, I’m not overly familiar with them yet :)

To be completely clear, the image of the loddigesi is not mine, it’s just from a search- mine is still too immature to bloom. 😊

### Jen commented on 2026-05-06

The frilly lip makes me think loddigesi, but the color is similar to my walkeriana. Do you remember where you purchased from? This is one of the reasons I started using the Planta app- to help me keep all my orchid names and their growing particularities straight.
