Just curious, is this the same as Blc. Pastoral Innocence that was popular about 10 years ago? If not, is it possible to name two different intergenera of cattleyas with the same name 'Pastoral Innocence'?
Davo, you've already told us you couldn't make out any letters on your old label here

Thanks bill, I tried that old trick, but it was written in pencil and to faded to make anything out."
Davo, I've made the same mistake you are trying to make now when I started out growing Cattleyas, if a Catt. hybrid was white with a yellow throat they must be the same, well it just doesn't work.
Your better off in the long run to have a No Name then a Wrong Name.
Hi Wellsy,
I have seen that many Pastoral Innocence has a tinge of purple on the bottom part of the labellum (some even very obvious as a purple stripe), but it seems yours is almost perfectly white. That's fantastic!
Hi OGee,
This tinge is sometimes stronger and sometimes you have to search with a microscope for it.
The intensity of colors on orchids is depend on mainly two factors.
One is the intensity of light the plant and the flower is exposed. The other is the kind of fertilizer used and how it is applied.
Some supplier of fertilizer are promising that their fertilizer enhances the intensity of colors.
In the south of Brazil, there was a time, about 20 to 40 years ago, where an exposition was a real competition.
It was the time where friends turned in to enemies over a dispute about orchids. At this time all kind of manipulation where done, in order to get the merit. One of this manipulation was to change the light intensity right before the flower buds opened. This did change the flower's color in a way that the specific flower was judged in a different category (variety) and was therefore one of the award winners. When a award winning plant like this bloomed in the hands of someone not aware of the special need of this plant got a looser in his hands.
Very nice Bill, is it a

Rsc. = Blc.
Yes it's the same.
Rhyncholaeliocattleya (Rsc.) Pastoral 'Innocence' = Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc.) Pastoral 'Innocence'

I am sure this is the same as the one I have been trying to identify, and posted recently, some of the letters on the faded label seem to fit.
Davo
Nice try Davo
