Cattleya leopoldii

[smweaver]

While that number of C. leopoldii plants would completely stress me out when it came time to repot them, Mauro, I would think that your growing area has to smell fantastic right now. I have several leopoldiis also, yet only one of them was mature enough to flower over the summer. But that one flowering plant produced a lot of fragrance on my front porch, and everyone who came to visit had to make a routine stop and put their nose into the group of blooms. Do you grow C. guttata also, or do you primarily have C. leopoldii plants? I've read that guttata likes warmer temperatures over the winter than leopoldii. Has that been your experience, or do both species appear to tolerate (prefer?) the same conditions?
