Default Cattleya gaskelliana

Two leads on this plant this year. Unfortunately, they're growing in opposite directions and on opposite sides of the plant. Now I have to decide whether or not to split it. Might just be lazy this year and let it go until next spring. Fantastic fragrance to these.

Very nice! If you've got the room, I would let it grow. Specimen plants are truly stunning!

Steve,
That is one beautiful C. gaskelliana you've got there...and I'd bet that I'm not the only one with that opinion.

Thanks for sharing with us...and oh, I agree with the others about letting it grow if you've got the space.
