Default Cattleya Portia 'Cannizaro'

Cattleya Portia 'Cannizaro,' with three spikes and twenty-one blooms. This is a primary (and, originating in 1897, very old) hybrid between the species C. bowringiana and C. labiata. At more than two feet tall, the plant is big, and since it's growing in two different direction and the center long ago disintegrated, I guess that there are really two plants growing in this pot (and I'm not looking forward to splitting it next spring). Blooms are fragrant (thanks to the labiata parent) and usually last a few weeks if the plant is kept relatively cool and out of direct sunlight.

Cattleya Porcia 'Cannizaro' recieved its AM in 1951 and was upgraded to an FCC by the AOS in 1988.

Thank you, guys. Are either of you familiar with both this hybrid and C. Porcia? Is there any way, either by the characteristics of the flowers or the plant, to determine which one of these hybrids this is? I've found references to both C. Portia and C. Porcia (both with the 'Cannizaro' designation) on the web, but I don't know how to tell one from the other. The tag in the pot said that it's Portia (not Porcia), but I would like to make sure, if that's possible. Either way I'll be happy--but I don't really like the mystery of not knowing. Thanks again for your feedback.

Steve

Hi Steve!

There are two grex: C. Portia (C. bowringiana x C. labiata) and C. Porcia (C. Armstrongiae x C. bowringiana)
C. Armstrongiae is a hybrid between C. Hardyana (C. gigas - or warszewicziana - x C. dowiana - or aurea) and C. loddigesii

I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly the 'Cannizaro' is Porcia, not Portia

Both the porcia and portia have "cannizaro" name attached to it. Both had awards but only the porcia received the FCC. The 2 plants and flowers look identical. Articles I've read indicate the porcia is fragrant. I haven't read any that says the portia is scented too.
On second thought, if SMWeaver has the portia and says it is fragrant (because of the parent labiata), then I am wrong.

I recently bought a "Portia" or "Porcia" (who knows) Cannizaro. The vendor named it on his website Portia Cannizaro FCC/AOS. I asked him to clarify (since Porcia did not receive the FCC). He later apologized and relabeled the plants he sold on his website as Porcia Cannizaro FCC/AOS. The plant I received from him was blooming and the flowers were scented.
Was that confusing? Now, I don't know which one I bought.

Another website (not the one I bought mine), Seagrove Orchids, under "Selected/Limited Availability - Division" also lists Portia Cannizaro FCC/AOS. I emailed and was replied it was scented (it was very nice of Linda to respond very quickly).
Another one, OrchidWeb.com, has Portia Cannizaro. Fragrance is not mentioned.

11 years late or so on this one.

Anyone know if the spelling is really 'Cannizaro'? Or is it 'CannizaRRo'?

The book above has 'RR' in Cannizarro, while most of the internet spells it with a single 'R', as in Cannizaro.

That book is 'complete guide to orchids' by ortho books.

Just to make worse it all...Cannizzaro is the usual spelling of this italian surname
