Default Cattleya intermedia var. alba

Here's my C. intermedia alba in full bloom. C. intermedia has two races, one of tall plants (50cm or more), which is from my region and has few varieties, and another, of short plants, from Brazil south, where most of the desirable varieties are found.

What a beauty!

Does the tall plant tend to have more blooms each spike? I have found a tall clone named Breckenridge Snow has more flowers than the common short plants.

It is common that the taller plants have more flowers on the spike than the shorter ones, Pheli, but this is not mandatory.

Thanks for the reply, Mauro.
I am just looking for some of the tall plants of C. intermedia alba. Hope I can find some great clones of them.
