| Cattleya Newberry Radiance |
Today will be a nice and short post. I took these photos in July and waited to post them because I had a few interesting orchids to talk about. Many were flowering at the same time. It was difficult to select which one to post about. Sadly, I missed out the early flowering stages of this orchid. But I hope I made up for my mistake by posting these nice photos with my old camera. I hope you will enjoy.

| A) July 9th. Three flowers developed this year. |
Arne bought this orchid in 2006 from a known orchid growing company. This orchid is registered and originated by this company in 9/8/2005. The seed parent is Cattleya Mini Purple, the pollen parent is Cattleya Spicey Hot. Interesting names. If you are interested, I did post about our Cattleya Mini Purple in my earlier post in February 13th.

| B) The leaves are thick and waxy. Some of the roots were sticking out of the growth medium in the pot. |
This orchid was previously known as Sophrolaeliacattleya Newberry Radiance because Cattleya Mini Purple was known as Laeliocattleya Mini Purple and Cattleya Spicey Hot was known as Sophrolaeliacattleya Spicey Hot.

| C) Up close, I noticed some dark purple spots on the petals. There's a tinge of orange in the center. |
 |
| D) This photo was taken in 2013. We had two flowers then but just as beautiful. |
Well, I hope you liked the photos. I have one orchid coming up. No blooms yet but will keep you 'posted' soon.
