Currently in bloom, I bought this as Potinara Lisa Taylor Gallis (BLC California Girl 'Orchid Library' x SC Beaufort 'Yellow Lip'), but the pics of the flowers on the net are yellow.

I think this is named after a man in my Societies wife. Harry Gallis. I wonder if he created this hybrid. I will have to ask him.

I talked to Harry today, and it is named after his granddaughter. He had it awarded, and the hybridizer in Hawaii let him name it. He said H&R had a few of these for awhile(meristems) but they are all gone now.
