Looks great! Are you growing the plant in straight Leca? If so what size of pot do you have it in and how often do you water? Are you growing cattleyas in a greenhouse or inside your house? Sorry for all the questions? Thanks

Looks good! Is it fragrant?

I like this cross, too, and grow mine mounted.

I grow it in bark (Orchiata), The Prosthechea Cochleata next to it is in the LECA, which it seems to not like very much. All my orchids are inside right now for the winter but a lot of them will go out when it warms up. Sadly my green house is in shreds need to put on new polyfilm but I've been at work to much lately..

Not that I've noticed, would it take after the Brassavola and become fragrant at night? Right now at night the hole house smells like Nodosa, Which I think kinda smells like shoe polish...

Also I noticed in the second photo the leaves look like there speckled with black, but it's actually very purple. Guess my Iphone doesn't pick it up that well.

Strange name but a beautiful plant.

If it is going keep its scent, usually the Brassavola influence is dominant so it will be fragrant at night.
