FABULOUS!!! How large is the plant, and do you have a photo of the whole plant? I have one, but I don't know how large it has to be before it blooms?

Here is the full plant.
3 yrs old and 2nd flowering
!6" tall from top of pot.

These tend to be very straggly plants so stake all new growth to make upright growth.
All the usual conditions for cattleyas then apply.
Hope this has been of help.
