Cattleya sincorana ‘Waterford’

[Bayard]

leaf mite - the plant has been in that pot for around ten years, so don’t give up!

That is just spectacular Bayard!

I do as well Leafmite and it's one of my favorites. It's mounted on a piece of cork and is spectacular like the OP's plant here because the flowers are so disproportionately large compared to the size of the leaves. These kind of plants just scream "look at me".

Can you PM me details for this? I've set up a Zoom call with my JC for early next month and I'd love to report stuff like this to see if we can do something similar.

Bayard.....was just going to ask but see you say it's in a pot? I was going to ask if it was a cedar basket or a cedar placque?

Keysguy - cedar basket.
