Cattleya Leoloddiglossa coerulea

[isurus79]

Very cool and very fragrant hybrid from Sunset Valley Orchids. I got a division from a friend about 4 years ago which was not cut when the plant was actively making new roots. The plant languished that whole time and is just now bouncing back and blooming.

Here's a video I made about the flower and about how repotting at the wrong time can set you plant back many years: Show & Tell Plus Cautionary Tale - Cattleya Leoloddiglossa - YouTube
