Thought I'd share a photo of a crystal orchid I received as a bday gift. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Sparkly! Do you know who the maker was? Nice gift. Someone not only likes you, but knows what you like! 8)

Hehe, I got an x-mas ornament last year that's a slipper!
Glass - funky looking hybrid, but heck, it's a nice, phallic slipper!

Is it a Cattleya?

Maybe.

I want more specifics: species? hydrid? which one?

I don't think I'm asking for much, am I? :shock:

Kev,
Looks like Laeliocattleya Swarovski var. Rubrocentrum. An excellent variety, and usually everblooming.

Swarovski Yes!
Identification No!
I have the picture saved as Cattleya crystalum on my comp, although Swarovskii may be more appropriate.
