C. intermedia alba "hoyt"
This was from SBOE as a 2 year old in 2 inch pot a long time ago. Probably 5 years ago. This is a split off the original. It is fragrant and lasts about 3 weeks in good light with a little moisture. My next task is to get more blooms per inflorescence. The first blooms 3 years ago had 3 blooms each. Then it got sick. Black rot fungus. This was the split that had the least damage. It has recovered well. There is another sheath starting to come up next to it.

What a beautiful bloom, and that lip is really attractive. A great and hardy species too. It should recover quite nicely for you, I would imagine, considering how bulletproof C. intermedia is.

Thank you! Two of the three divisions got black rot on the older leaves and pbulbs. Nearly killed the smaller of the two and has manifested itself on the other but I've kept at it and now have two new pbuklbs that show little in the way of the black spots. Hopefully it will flower and continue without any more trouble. I really like this orchid and it's flowers.
