Well, it's that time of year...the shadehouse is filled with fragrance from all of the Cattleyas bloomin'. They are opening everywhere...one will be ready to shoot tomorrow, and L. tenebrosa is gonna pop any day, with a few others close behind! This one opened the other day, and finally got most of it's color: C. labiata
Jasen she is gorgeous! I love that little ruffled edge on the lip. labiata is one of my favorite species and you've done a wonderful job with this one!!
