Large Cattleya Hybrid in Bloom
These are the latest blooms from 'Big Momma', the largest cattleya in my collection. She's a noid, but I do recall that part of her cross is George King 'Serendipity'. Her leaf span is over 32". This winter it was difficult maneuvering her through doorways when I brought her in from the cold. She's getting heavy too.
One photo includes a soft drink can for size comparison. Most of her blooms are not yet fully opened.

Beautiful! I love the soft peachy-pink colors! Those flowers look pretty good sized compared to the soda can!

Thank you Becca. The colors become more intense as the flowers mature. |

Awesome! It's great to see her doing her thing again this year. I always look forward to this post. I love the color. You'll have to update the thread when she's in full bloom.  |
