Thanks, Wendy, and for the hint as to name, Laeliocattleya does ring a
distant bell. Somewhere in my ancient box of garden stuff I think I still
have the label, but you've certainly sent me in the right direction.

Kind regards,

someone

Very pretty & worth the wait, *g*, do you have a name? Looks like it could
be Laeliacattleya?
Cheers Wendy

Seventeen years ago in Singapore I bought a small glass jam jar
containing
about 15 1-2 millimetre orchid clones in some sort of sterile gel from
the
botanic garden. Over the years they have all died or been lost,
however,
I
have one left. And this is it! This is the first time it has flowered
in
seventeen years, and the perfume is divine!
