Blc. Terri Henderson 'Paul'- first catt rebloom! ever!
Im so excited!!!! this is the first cattleya that ive ever bloomed!!! 
im sooooo happy!!!
the plant is Blc Terri Henderson 'paul' i got it last december from Carmela's; during their christmas special.
there are two blooms on 1 spike. the natural spread is almost 5 inches! the plant has good substance, and the shape is good, not amazing, but good. either way i love it to death!
during the day, it smells amazing! the fragrance is really sweet and smells like cattleya. its not citrusy like B. digbyana hybrids, but sweet and yummy is the best description i can give. im seriously on cloud nine! 
frontal and profile in the same photo!
the natural spread is almost 5 inches!
the lip is gorgeous!

That's a beautiful orchid! I love the colors and the shape of the lip. Fragrance even makes it better. Congratulations, well done.

Hey, that is beautiful! Yay! Scented too! I hope it lasts, many last four to six weeks. My orchids always open a day or two after and finish a day before, with the exception of a dendrobium that is nearly always in bloom. I have a few doing/preparing to do that now. I took the dendrobium last time so I can't use that again. At least my society knows I grow at least one. Enjoy! Congrats!
