PATSP is a long-winded, intermittently humorous blog which is mostly about houseplants, particularly Anthuriums and Schlumbergeras.
How come there are no hybrid orchids with this color scheme, but big frilly petals and sepals like your standard corsage catt? Or are there, and I just haven't been paying attention? 'Cause I kind of like this, except for how skinny it is.

Pretty epicatt. You mean green-yellow-pink combination? How about Blc. Greenwich ‘Elmhurst'?
This is one of my all time favorite orchids, I just wish I could keep them alive here is south Florida. Any tips? lol best wishes
orchideya:
Sorta similar, I guess, but the yellow and green on Blc. Greenwich ‘Elmhurst' aren't really distinct; from the pictures that come up on Google, it's just yellowish-green and pink. Not quite what I was thinking of.

I just take pictures; I don't grow 'em. (Orchids and I mostly don't get along.)
*jealous*
Why would you want ugly Cattleya like petals? :) I prefer the skinny Epidendrum petals myself.
Zach:
It's not so much that I'd want the huge, super-frilly petals that some of the catts have. I'm just surprised that if this is a conceivable color combination, nobody's managed to do it in something a bit froofier.
Also I don't object to the Epidendrum petals exactly, but to me they look excessively skinny.
a few of a more/less similar color scheme:
- Blc. Ahchung Emerald
- Blc. Young Kong
- Epic. Mae Bly
- Pry. Chief Green River
