What species,or hybrid is the giant red one? How big is this flower?

That big red is Blc. Chia Lin 'Biorchids'. I can't tell you now how large is the flower, but be sure it is a big flower!

Sheridan, almost all of my Cattleyas are planted in clay pots filled with sphagnum mixed with peanuts of white Styrofoam scratched from larger pieces (in a proportion of 70% sphag, 30% Styrofoam). I tested s/h and honestly didn't like much, but I know it works well for several species. Cattleyas like to be mounted, but in this case high air humidity is very important |

It's no wonder you always have so many great catts to show, so much hard work must go in to keeping those looking good.
I need more space! Actually what I need in the shorter term is to get proper shelves in my greenhouse... then I can fill them  |

Mauro your collection is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your pictures.  I for one don't have much blooming right now and pictures will at least help me get thru the lull. Only problem is that in the meantime I add more to my "Wish List"
