Cattleya Portia var. coerulea
Another very old hybrid. Easy to grow and bloom, the flowers have (unfortunately) inherited the not-so-great fragrance of the Cattleya bowringiana parent. On the plus side, however, C. Portia (unlike C. bowringiana itself) is tolerant of intermediate-to-cool winter nights.

Beautiful classic form and pastel colors....no matter what the scent is: fragrance is always an advantage for a flower.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments.
Steve, how's that C. intermediate doing that I sent to you? Is it enjoying its new Texas home?

So far, so good! It seems to be dormant, but otherwise healthy!
