First bloom is lovely and the second rather cute.. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe its just me but I am not fond of those colorful Catts. I think the color combination just feels wrong to me.

I won plant at an auction a few years ago and when it bloomed it did not make me happy. I just do not like those yellow/red/purple combinations.

This is mine

If you are doing the judging, you cannot have favourite colours. Lol. I was leading the lay panel (that is the panel of amateurs) used when one of our member AOC judges was not at the meeting. The Catt in question was unplaced in its Class. Just missed out. One of those almost good orchids. The hybrid Paphiopedilum is a much more desirable orchid (in my inexpert opinion).

I'm not a lover of yellow, but have learned to appreciate the shape and frills

You are a diplomat, Arthur! I could never judge, however I agree about the Paph.
