C. Bactia 'Grape Wax'
I always look forward to see the head of waxy flowers on this plant. This is a clone that has been in my collection for several years.

Your beautiful photo reminds me of how much I miss mine. It became too large for my growing area and now lives with a friend. At least I have visiting rights.

Very impressive! The color is gorgeous and the number of blooms together really makes it a showstopper!

Yes, fantastic! I do not really have the space for the larger Cattleyas any more but this one really tempted me. Thanks for sharing! It is lovely to behold!

Thanks Steve. One thing the photo fails to capture is the glossiness of the flowers. The flowers are waxy and shiny. |
