Guaricattonia Wataru Kimura

This is one I am really excited to see bloom! This is a cross between two primary hybrids, so the parentage is [(C. bicolor x Bro. sanguinea) x (C. guttata x Gur. aurantiaca)]. This is supposed to look like the famous Ctna. Why Not, but richer and deeper colours. This is a massive 'chid (relative to the rest of my collection), and it even has two sheaths!

Here is the whole plant.

And the one sheath that is just starting to split open and show the spike!

I am totally going to do breeding with this one! I have had several different types of pollen donated to me from a few different people, and I want to do the following crosses: x Blc. Victoria 'Blue Bird' and x Laelia rubescens aurea.
