Cattleya jenmanii 'Majestic ' x C. percivaliana 'Summit'
Hi all,
have had this plant for a few years (since 2007), and it bloomed for me the same month I recieved it. This is the first time it has bloomed for me since then. Hopefully that means I did something right this year. The first picture shows its colours the day after it opened Dec 20th and the second picture shows its colours today dec 23.
I hope you like this hybrid.

Those are absolutely beautiful percivaliana. It's always been one of my favorite species. It's often called the Christmas orchid because it usually blooms for Christmas. Good growing.

It's lovely! Did you do something different this year to get it to bloom?

Not that I know of. Maybe it was just settling in from when I recieved it.
Thanks all for the comments.

Thanks all, did not know it had a name.
It smells really good too. Not too strong, but pleasant.

I wonder if this is the Sander involved with orchid nomenclature?? It was registered in 1954! |
