Cattleya Empress Bells
C. Empress Bells (C. Edithiae X C. Bow Bells)
The flower does not have great shape but the color and fragrance make up for it.

Jim, once again your photographic technique is so unbelieveably captivating. If anyone should have their pictures in a calender, they should be yours...and BTW the flower is beautiful, also!

Jim, for the time it was bred, 55 years ago, it had and still has a very good form! It is a classic white as you know, with more than 20 clones awarded and more than 110 times used as a direct parent. It is not little for this elegant flower!!
