AWESOME Fall Cattleyas!!!

[InspirChid1712]

Glad you guys have enjoyed them! I grew them outside from the end of April through early October... which is AWESOME! And, the winter weather down here is generally sunny, so they still get plenty of light (unlike Pittsburgh's 'dark season'!). I absolutely love the NOID... I have used its blooms for my sister's bridal bouquet, and my friend Erica had one of its blooms in her hair when she was married. Hence, I refer to it as the 'wedding cattleya'! It is such a special plant.

And Tucker, you can't tell from the photos, but it is a HUGE PLANT in a 10" clay pot. I've made a long-term project of growing it to specimen size. I can barely lift it for watering!!!

***If ANYBODY has thoughts as to it's identity, PLEASE SHARE!!!***

It came from a local greenhouse in Pittsburgh (though I purchased it at a grocery store!), and I've debated giving them a phone call to track down it's true name!

Epc. Landwoods has been wonderful as well, blooming every year in late fall or winter. It has fairly 'plain' blooms, but it is such a cheerful little fragrant fellow. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
