Cattleya percivaliana

[Oscarman]

That's a nice one Pat - thanks for sharing. I just picked up C. percivaliana var. semi-alba 'Farah Diba' at our last OSA meeting and will be looking forward to it's blooms. Is it common for C. percivaliana to push out multiple growths?

You have alot to look forward to with those semi-alba and alba forms... They have slightly smaller flowers, but they are very beautiful. I don't think multiple growths like this occasion is common, but the species tend to grow like a weed when established... it's in a semi-hydro medium, but I will repot into a larger bark mix. Hopefully it will flourish a bit more...
