C. Swingtime 'Dancer'
This originally had two lovely blooms but I probably shouldn't tell you how i managed to break it off accidentally. *facepalm*
But other than that, this is a lovely and very large plant; well over 2 feet in height and already outgrowing its 9 inch pot. Lovely scent in the mornings and just a gorgeous white with a lovely lip; 6 inches across.
It really takes up a lot of space especially when it has a new growth that is already over 2ft and the leaf has yet to harden and begin to stand upright. New growth has sheath though so I am very pleased.  |

Very pretty! I love classic white cattleys. I've broken off a lot of flowers accidentally also.

Well at least you can sympathize with me in that regard. lol
I must admit in most classic white catts that you see in photos online, it really doesn't do them justice. In person though they are really just breathtaking; especially if the flower has heavy substance and pristine white.

You mean I'm not the only one who knocks off flowers/knocks them off the shelf/drops them when reaching for another orchid/busts off a bud when trying to tie them up/breaks off a flower when I just want to touch it because I am so excited? This is a lovely white flower. LOVE THE THROAT COLOR.
