This yellow cattleya was a mystery plant I bought at either a tourist spot or at the airport in Honolulu? I had hoped it would be a grand purple cattleya like the picture on the package but atlas, false marketing. This little guy is quite a prolific grower and many years later (2007), I've split it up into several cuttings and mounted them on a wooden plack. So far it's dong really well.
This is my "Cattleya Tree." The yellow cattleya is at the top left. I have mounted a purple on both the top right and bottom left. The bottom right is a red cattleya called 'New City', which is a plant I got also in Hawaii but it has never flowered for me… yet. ;-)
