Does anyone have experience with this catt? It's very intriguing! I would love to find a blooming size of it somewhere, alas, the ones I have seen are not under my $20 max per plant
Flowering size for under $20, I would guess that that is very unlikely. Sunset Valley has an 8 pseudobulb division for sale for $100. If you do find flowering size of this for under $20, after you have ordered yours please let me know so that I can order one also.
Here's one: Cattleya intermedia on ebay. Closer to $30 with shipping, and of course that's just the starting price, but definitely looks big enough to bloom. Good luck!
