I got this division from a well known cattleya grower in California last year. Surprisingly the first post division growth bloomed with a single flower without a sheath. The 13.5 cm flower is so well proportioned that I can see why it was given an FCC!
The left petal was injured while the plant was moved around
Thank you for your kind comments. Looking forward to growing the plant stronger for next year!! In the meantime I will save the pollen for future breeding!
This is a division of the original plant. There are no mericlones of this cultivar. I was lucky to get this division from the famous cattleya grower Steven Kristofferson of California.
