This cattleya was named after a movie star.....
This is C. Carol Channing. Lovely white with a gorgeous scent. First bloom off this. When I got it the plant was mostly old dead pbulbs. One after the other grew but didn't bloom. Finally this one threw these two blooms. This came from a nice lady who has since passed. She grew lots of old hybrid white catts when they were made into corsages for proms and elegant dates. I am dividing them as they get large enough and in a couple years donating them back to my orchid club which is what she did with these old orchids. Hope you enjoy.
