Grand Chupacabra
C. aclandiae x C. luteola
This is one of my favorite Cattleya primary hybrids! It's small growing, seems to be easy to grow and bloom, and it's fragrant!
Per usual, my photography skills are terrible and my phone camera leaves a lot to be desired so these pictures don't do it justice.
The scent is variable and a bit strange. Overall, I would describe it as smelling like "Ivory" brand soap, 99.44% pure. It's strongest early in the day, and by evening the flowers are more or less non-fragrant.
Both luteola and aclandiae are small growing Catts, and among my favorite species. I grow this one indoors during the colder parts of the year and under LED lights. From spring through fall, it goes outside to enjoy fresh air and natural sunlight. It's been surprisingly easy to grow and bloom considering that both parent species have been semi-challenging for me in my conditions.
