I've always admired this species from afar. This is my first bloom of the species. I wish the photograph captured the amazing way the the gold of the lip fades into a soft butter yellow in the sepals and petals.

Wonderful! Good job, it is supposed to be a bit hard to grow.

Thank you.

It grows along with my other cattleyas with no special treatment.

This is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm a little bit intimidated by species Catts.

Thus far I'm admiring from afar, and yours is definitely something to be admired!

TFS!

Wonderful! I love this species! I've heard it can be tricky, too, but if you grow it with your other catts, I'm going to try one. Thanks.
