Cattleya trianae, fma alba 'Aranka Germanske' FCC/AOS
3 weeks ago I posted C. percivaliana 'Summit' grown from a BB division. Here is another classic acquired from my tenant (again a mother division).
In this case I started with a single pseudobulb with leaf and a few roots, which I potted up about two years ago.
The single PB sprouted two leads, each of which next produced a NBS growth. Both are now large enough to bloom on the following (3rd) pseudobulbs.
The flowers were not quite fully open today, but it is close enough to show the quality of this relatively rare plant. I will try to remember to take another photo, when the second spike opens.
