C. intermedia alba 'Pine Knot'
First bloom on this baby, and it is BIG, especially compared to my other intermedias. The flowers are five inches across, and the plant tops out a thirteen inches. I've read that some people don't think it is a true intermedia, but I don't mind, I love it!

Wow! I love the form of this flower - and it's so pure white. Stunning.
I'm not at all a Cat. person, so here's a total noob question for you - what makes a Cat. an intermedia? Is it just a size thing?
Thanks so much for sharing.

Very nicely bloomed flower & good photo.
The flower & the leaves do not appear to be a C intermedia. Perhaps something like C maxima in its parentage.

Cat. intermedia is a species that is usually smaller that the standard Catts. Mine average about eight inches tall, with blooms around two to three inches. This one is a lot bigger, almost standard size.

Jays Orchid Species website says the flowers of intermedia can grow on short, and long inflorescences.
Here is a pic of it in situ...

That is surely one of the nicer intermedias.
