One of the few hybrids that have stayed with me for a decade or more. Flowers are so large (16-18 cm) and fabulous with huge flares and a deep red lip.
It grew over last summer at a friend’s GH and just threw 9 flowers in 4 growths! Best flowering of this plant so far. Very fragrant.
I highly recommend this to David, Southern Belle and Pete! I think Orchids Limited or Hauserman’s might still have it.
Very best of the classic big cattleya hybrids IMO.
