C. percivaliana semialba specimen
An update for my old post
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...arah-diba.html
I placed the plant high up in my greenhouse where it recieved unfiltered light during the morning hours. In the summer I removed the nearby acrylic paneel to let in fresh air for the exhaust ventilator on the opposite side. I guess that thousands of m3 of fresh air blew in per hour. Temperature was close to 40°C on hot days and 12°C on cold rainy days. Percivalianas are hardy, they not only stand but seem to love the extremes.
Last year there were 6 flowers, now 10. |

Truly a well grown plant! And I think semi-alba is the best color for this species!!

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm new enough to the hobby to just be glad my plants are still alive and growing, but I hope to be able to get my plants to bloom so beautifully one day. Thanks for the culture notes. ^_^

Wow! Well done! I guess I am not being harsh enough to mine as it let me down this winter.

Gorgeous.
Does it have nice fragrance?
I want one because I love their shape.
Is one percivaliana better than others in fragrance?

I think percivaliana are known for a less than pleasant fragrance. Mine hasn't bloomed yet so I am just going by what I read. |
