Some catts and their cousins need as much light as they can get to flower and that is in their ancestry. There are catts and laelias in brazil that grow in extremely limited areas. Some in less than 100 square miles. These plants have strict requirements as to light, time of watering/dry season, and if these are not met the plants don't flower well. It all depends on what the ancestry is. The more I look at this one the more I will have to get one. I love the flower color and form. Very nice.
