Cattleya intermedia v. Orlata 'Rio'

[Mathias]

I finally flowered this plant after having it for three years. It did not grow well until I gave it a wider and shallower pot. This flowering shoot was basically grown under 2 x 54W high-output T5 fluorescent tubes. Just a little winter sun in a north-facing window.

It is a clone bought from a German nursery. Flowers are 10 cm across and have a very weak floral fragrance. I must say that I am a little in love with this one... :drool:

That has to be one of the most perfectly shaped Catt flowers I've ever seen!

And such a great colour too!

I bought the plant from Röllke Orchideen. They still have it listed.
