Cattleya maxima first bloom seedling.

[John M]

I really like this one. The colour is very even, the flower is large and the petals are held well and symetrically.

This one turned out really nicely.

Gorgeous and that upright dorsal is wonderful. I've seen so many Cats. with ugly, distorted dorsals that a really
nice one makes me happy. :>)

 

[John M]

Thank you everyone!

 

[SouthPark]

Thank you everyone!

Thank you for posting that pic John. But make sure to post a pic to show the back of the dorsal sepal, just so that we know you didn't glue a toothpick on the other side of it. (naturally kidding heheh)

Very nice.

 

[monocotman]

very nice. I’ve read that this species is one that it really pays off to grow into a specimen. The flower count and quality improve dramatically,

It’s got potential when mature with a big head of flowers.

maximas never exhibit that kind of bilateral symmetry! It looks like its one of those half real, half reflection images!!! Really nice!
