Cattleya Undine alba
Default Cattleya Undine alba

Here are two pictures of my Cattleya Undine alba which is in flowers at present. This is a remake of the Cattleya Undine (registered at the RHS in 1906) obtained by crossing the alba forms. Flowers diameter 11 cm, plant hight 26 cm. This one is cultivated in a substrate made of 70% medium bark and 30% CHC and a little bit coarse turf.

An american abbreviation for Coco Husk Chips. Well know in Europa after the publication of Bob Wellenstein on its use for slipper orchids culture.
