It's a cheery little mini cattleya of some kind. It's a hybrid. A more specific ID will not be possible but at least you know it is some kind of cattleya and can get a cattleya culture sheet form a place like AOS | Members Only Area or this forum so youll know how to grow it.

Thanks for the warm welcomes and replies! Yes, I got it at the grocery store. Our grocery store has a nice selection of orchids. I'm going to buy one more today. Sorry that I posted in the wrong place. Thanks for moving it! |

hi, welcome to the forum! That is a really pretty catt and I too can't believe you got it from a grocery store. I grow a lot of catt's, too bad it doesn't have a tag, because I would really look into it for myself.

We have a lot of nice orchids in our grocery stores here in Anchorage, AK. I didn't realize how fortunate and unusual that is. (blushing)

I hope Susan checks back...It does look very much like that plant, but as Kevin stated, (and it's so important to remember) There are so many that are similar. If you're just going to enjoy it~ it's ok to guess, but for showing or hybridizing, it's so important to have the correct "bloodline". btw!!

Further to the point we dont' know for certain that Susan's orchid is Slc. Memoria Alvin Begeman 'Poem'. There are just too many yellow mini catts with red on the lip. This is why we often say it is impossible to positively ID NOID hybrids.
