Cattleya nobilior

[JPMC]

I know that this one gets overshadowed by Cattleya walkeriana, but I think that I may prefer this clone over the average walkeriana because the scent is like a hyacinth. It's also much easier to grow in my growing room than walkeriana.

Very nice, Jay! Why does this grow better for you than walkeriana, is it a temperature thing?

I wish that I knew. It may be that my warmer indoor temps. are more easily tolerated by nobilior than walkeriana.

Yumm, sounds like a very nice fragrance! Beautiful color too, nice lilac color.

Great looking nobilior!! I don't know about this species growing better in hot temps than walkeriana though. My walkeriana grew faster than ever this summer outside with over 30 consecutive days of 100 degree plus temps. I was/am growing it in s/h though. Unlimited water and nutrients in these conditions might a reason for the success in the heat.
