Diacatt. Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle'

[Paphluvr]

I've posted this here before but it such a cute thing that I can't help from doing it again. It blooms more than once/ year and is fragrant. It has a somewhat messy growth habit for me. I am a windowsill grower and it is in a pot and very much likes to grow toward the sun. Would probably prefer to be mounted but my humidity is not high enough.

It isn't unusual for Caulocattleya crosses to me messy growers. The Caularthron bicornutum parent is a bit of a genetic mismatch for its Cattleya cousins, and its tall multi-node multi-leaf pseudobulbs add to the chaotic sprawl potential. It seems to be better behaved in Laelia crosses. It might appreciate brighter light than many other Catts, and that might straighten it up a bit.

"Chaotic sprawl" hit the nail right on the head, that's why I think it would do better mounted (if my conditions would permit).

Beautiful flowers, such soft colors. Thanks for sharing.

I love it, I remember seeing it before and I like seeing it again.
