Cattleya mossiae coerulea 'Blue Bird' x 'Herrerae

[piping plover]

I posted this under the blooms thread, but just in case someone in this cattleya thread was interested, ecuagenera offers this. I was on the waitlist for nearly a year.

My Cattleya mossiae coerulea 'Blue Bird' x 'Herrerae' bloomed! need to give most of the credit to Ecuagenera on this one since they grew it all year; at least I didn’t put it in a diagonal reverse in acclimating as I so often do. 😂

mine is less dramatic than the online catalog photos . Very delicate petals tho, in texture it reminds me of Siberian iris that I started from seed years ago. Slight lily or hyacinth fragrance.
