Mature growth?
That gorgeous!!! Can see why this clone rcv'd an FCC. Any fragrance?
Not a strong fragrance, but yes.
amazing that a cross registered in the 1960's got its FCC in 2008

I am crazy about white Catts. Great job with this magnificent blooming.
Stunning. I love these old Catts: Pastoral, Portia etc... Such lovely form and strong plants.
Why? Does it need a lot of light, or is it an issue with the bud blasting?

Gorgeous!!!
No bud blasting. I really think it is a lightning issue.

Um, .. don't you have a greenhouse/garden?
Eric, I don't have a greenhouse. Some of my plants are now grown outdoor in summer for a few months but I bring them indoor for the cooler months. Since I live in a cold region, all of my plants are grown underlights for at least 8 months a year. Many plants are indoors all year round. Even in August nights temperature are pretty low (often around 5 C). I gave this Catt a much brighter spot since 1 year and I reduced fertilization. It is now light green instead of dark green. But still not a good bloomer this year. Such a large plant is not easy to manage under artificial lights.
