Blc. Oconee 'Mendenhall' (Lc. Belle of Celle x Blc. Norman's Bay) is probably the most famous of the large red art shades. Created in Hawaii by Ben Kodama, it is credited to his broker, Bill Kirsch and was registered by Carter and Holmes. This great cattleya is probably the finest of its kind. Outstanding for exhibition, breeding or your own personal enjoyment, this 6" beauty will wow you with its large size, outstanding color and sweet perfume. Usually blooms for us twice a year in Hawaii. A must have for every cattleya grower. If you have just one, this is the one to have.
