Lc.Purpurato-rex
I tried my hand at a Cattleya buy buying a cutting last year. I guess it worked out.I has 2 pairs of 3 blooms. Actually I don't think they are fully opened yet.Not fragrant but it just bloomed today.I love the colors. Don't know much about it. Couldn't find one here on OB. Thanks for looking.

Great job growing! The fragrance usually takes a couple of days to develope. These look almost like pure purpurata flower wise. Did Cattleya rex contribute anything to the plant?

Thanks LOL I'm unaware of the parents but presume that it would be a cross of a Cattleya -rex with some laelia?

Hi Swamper!
I have posted my Lc Purpurato-Rex coerulea for two years in OB! (this year here Lc Purpurato-rex coerulea). In my conditions it is an easy plant to grow (as a purpurata), with the advantage of blooming at a time of year far from purpuratas and Canhamianas blooming! |

Swamper, I purchased 2 plugs back in March 2009 from a friend in Stuart, FL. This is what they look like today. Any chance I might see some flowers in the near future comparing size to your plant? Thanks

Yours look about the same size as mine. Yours look better than mine in fact. My pseudobulbs look thirsty compared to yours. It's hard to tell from the pics as to size. Yours may be younger though. Did they grow much from last March. Mine are pretty much the same size. |
