Laeliocattleya Floralia's Azul 'Sandra' x Cattleya amethystoglossa coerulea 'Blue Sky

[Jeff214]

Here are the first blooms opening on a C. amethystoglossa hybrid, Lc. Floralia's Azul 'Sandra' x C. amethystoglossa coerulea 'Blue Sky'. I got this from Carter and Holmes Sep 2019, and it's been a vigorous grower with exceptionally strong roots in pots. I grow it indoors, under lights, in coarse bark, with 2-3x weekly waterings during growth.

The buds are still opening up and I detected a faint fragrance this morning. The colors and fragrance might intensify as the buds all open up.
