That is knock-your-socks-off Gorgeous!!!!!

How old is it and how on earth did you grow it so big?

You've done a fantastic job!

This is the nicest primary I've ever seen.

Very nice hybrid.
Judging from the 5 to 5-1/2" flowers, it looks like your plant's fairly compact to have so many flowers ... probably only 14-15" tall without the flowers.

No, can't really tell all of that from the little photos, but looks like the C lawrenceana really brought down the height of jenmanii and broadened out the flower spikes of the hybrid. The hybrid must be a lot more vigorous grower than either parent.

I bought 5 years ago as adult plant.
The most incredible is that the plant lost almost all of the roots last year, i tought i would loose her...
The plant is not SO BIG, i have others biggers than that!

There is a consensus of calling it a natural hybrid, but really, no one is sure about their true identity...

The one you have is an obvious hybrid between jenmani and lawrenceana, can I ask if is wild collected or from cultivation?

Hola Jan,
I bought at Cattleya (lawrenciana x jemannii) - Plantas: Bela Vista Orchids (Orquídeas)
