It tries to bloom twice a year but the summer spikes never develop properly. I assume it's just too hot during the summer for this orchid.

WOW tucker!!!!! It sucks about the broken buds, but the plant still looks awesome! I love classic cattleyas the most of all!

Beautifully grown and flowered.

Amazing well done Tucker. These bigger ones are sometimes really difficult to keep "manageable". They want to grow wherever, they become unbalanced...they tip over...break...they knock over other plants...you wrestle to tie them up ....you swear at them sometimes...then they bloom and it's all worth it! Beautiful blooms.

Really amazing orchid, hard to imagine it having even more flowers! Glad you have several others, and I'll bet next year it'll be even more spectacular. As I have a couple of big catts, I think I'll learn from your experience and stake it carefully.
