I had no idea it was going to be as large or beautiful! Wow, now I am an even bigger fan of Cattelyas. I even have another spike forming in a sheath.

So gorgeous! What is its fragrance like? I have one but it hasn't bloomed for me.

The scent : About day four the scent occured. It got a bit rainy and foggy here. Cloves, vanilla, rose. more clove & rose with a hint of vanilla but the vanilla is there. I woulds also add some peach or pear in the scent.
