Today I will show you this Cattleya maxima. The flower is White, only on the inside of the Lip are some pink Strip. I have some more of this species and they are not easy to grow.

Those are beautiful, Frank. What in your experience makes this species difficult to grow? C. maxima is one of the few cattleya species that I don't have in my collection, so I would be very much interested to know why it's proven a difficult plant for you, please. Thank you.

Nice delicata, Frank! I have a sib cros of delicata, but the plant will take a few years to bloom. Cat. maxima is easy to grow in our conditions here in southeast Brazil.
