Your dumpster is a bit too far. lol
I like large cattleyas flowers and their sweet fragrance, but they only last about one month at best and usually bloom only once a year for me.
and they are rather big for me.
So I usually buy them in bloom and then toss. just like phals. lol
Willette Wond "The Best" is about the largest yellow/red I've seen. I also like the bright cheery lemon yellow on its flowers.
Even better, the plant is not that big considering how big the flowers are. All the more reason to keep it.
