Cattleya nobilior
Not a great clone since I believe that the judges want flowers to be flat, but I like the fact that it is a regular blomer in the coldest part of the year. It has a great fragrance too; like hyacinths.

Yes, it's in pure NZ sphagnum moss in a clay pot. It dries out well between weekly waterings and is very slow to break down. It does not dry out well in plastic pots so I only use clay with cattleyas. |

Nice to see. Love this bifoliate species. Still waiting for mine to bloom. What kind of rest do you give yours? Temps?

I don't give it much of a rest, but it takes a rest from mid-summer to mid autumn. I do not change my watering or fertilizing. It gets full sun equivalent 12 inches from a 100W LED fixture, daytime temps 80F+ and night time temps of 60F in the summer; winter is 10F cooler. I fertilize with urea-free fertilizer at 125-150ppm weekly. |

Ahhhhh....walkeriana...one of my favs. Flat or not, I love everything about walkeriana! Good growing.
[Too bad we don't have smell-a-vision.]
EDIT - My bad...I didn't read the title nobilior and just saw the flowers. So similar to walkeriana!...skinnier "waist" on a longer lip...but very, very similar.
