Many thanks.It has typical bug like smell but not as strong as typical form has.

I agree it's not such a good perfume like most others cattleya. The white form it's a bit better.

Nice! mine has buds just about to break out of the sheath…..

Beautiful, love that solid yellow lip! I keep meaning to pick up one of these, but I prefer pleasant-smelling catts….

Are there any general tips from other growers on culture that sets this species apart from other Cattleyas? I have a standard ‘Summit’ who refuses to even sheath.

I've heard verbal abuse helps them along. ;>)

I like the greenish throat colors that it shares with eldorados and warneri albescents.
