[Leslie]

My first dayana to bloom! The lip has such dark black purple colour and velvety! Not much fragrance...

It's gorgeous. Mine is just getting done, not this one. Your leaves look so much bigger than mine as compared the my bloom. Mine is a dayana v. coerulea x self. I thought the 'Harford' was more pink. I love the color of yours, the petals are much darker than mine. Don't ya just love the ribs in the lip? This is mines second blooming.

Love the coerulea forms. Do you have a pic?

The leaves of the dayana will vary depending on light. Mine is longer in lower light. Another friend's has shorter stouter leaves in higher light.

Sorry I missed this before. I do have a picture of it but lost all the pictures on the computer. I have to upload all my pictures again and just haven't yet. I will try to do it and put up the picture.

Edit: I just found my old post as it was easier to do. Yes mine is in fairly bright light and the leaves are kind of yellow and I did burn it a bit. that way I know they have enough light.

I love that color!!

FYI- The name should be Cattleya bicalhoi (syn. Laelia dayana). The correct name should be first and the old name should be in parentheses.

Thanks Isurus, you are correct!
