Lovely fringes! That's a really different looking bloom.

How long have you had it, Sam. They are notoriously slow growers.

Cool! This one is actually Rhynchovola David Sander.

wonderful! reminds me a bit of Epidendrum ciliare

[Paphluvr]

Nice! Fragrant?

Awesome! Do you mind sharing your winter care and also lighting for this thing?

I’ve had this hybrid since I purchased one in 2016 as a near blooming size plant. It grows like crazy, I think I have had over 20 new growths this year alone, but it refuses to bloom. I put it up on the balcony this past spring in full sun as a last ditch effort, lol.

Thanks all.
Attached is a full plant photo.
Pot is 8" and hight is about 20".
Once it starts growing it gives 10-20 new growths per year.
I grow it same as Cattlaya and I did not detect any
fragrance.

Interesting, mine just wouldn’t bloom with my other Catts. I was keeping it with my B. nodosa (which blooms all summer and again in the winter) and some of my hybrids. Maybe mine is just stubborn Thanks for the reply!
