Default Sorry ... Another Identification please !

Eric, we are all in awe of your knowledge on orchids - don't destroy the
mystique.

Kye,

*laff* nah, it's not that impressive. Not like Kathy B. the other night at
the OS meeting rattling off parents of all the floofy cattleya hybrids and
giving color commentary (in some cases, literally!) on the parents and
knowing all about the hybridizers, etc. etc.

In this case, this particular plant is/was very well represented in the
"pot plant" orchid trade here about 7 years ago, right when I got into
orchids. It was the first orchid I ever bought and the first one I ever
re-bloomed. It's a very distinctive hybrid - not easily confused with
others. Finally, I think there is only one clone of Degarmoara Flying High
in circulation - 'Stars & Bars.'

Eric,

That is just scary... Like I mean knowing the cross id impressive and
all, but knowing the exact form is just twilight zone material!!!
