Cattleya silvana Pabst

[Don Perusse]

Very interesting but a little confusing to me as a newbie! I am curious about the second pic. The plant is really upright but I don't see any stakes. Did you use one as the sheath & buds were forming? Very nice orchid and good pictures to go along with.

The plant and flowers are naturally positioned, Don. No stakes in this case, although I use to use to hold the flowers in place.
