Interesting you brought this one up and it is not the first time I have spent hours trying to figure out one of Rafael's tags. I think the 2 has more to do with Rafael's book keeping than an orchid name but that is not the main issue here. There is no C. coerulea. There is a C. bicolor f. coerulea and a C. bowringiana f. coerulea and a C. maxima f. coerulea and on and on but no C. coerulea. In fact, there is even a C. gaskelliana f. coerulea. So what he crossed with C. gaskelliana, if anything, is anyone's guess. You'll have to give him a call.
