Most of our cattleyas bloom in spring. But some of them bloom though out the summer. Here are some that are blooming now.

Photo #1 is a Noid ( some say, Slc. Crystelle Smith 'Aileen') a small cattleya that blooms most of the summer. Will bloom from late June until September.

Photo #2 is Blc. Toshie's Magic 'apricot'. This one is either late or early, got it in October 2015 in bloom. Bloomed last year in early May 2016 and now it blooming in late July. Just like the color combination and is fragrant too.

Photo #3 is Lc. Green Veil 'Dressy', frist time for this one blooming.

Photo #4 is Epc. Middleburg 'Maj'. We have a couple of these, this is the last to bloom

Photo #5 is Lc. Dakao 'flammea enami' BM/JOGA. Very fragrant

More cattleyas in bloom.

Photo #1. This is the NOID (some say Slc. Crystelle Smith ‘Ailleen’, that was blooming last month too. Apparently it bloom in to November it seems to be in bloom most of the year. A very good preformer, small fairly compact. The flowers fade from a darker salmon to a very light pink as they age
Photo#2. Pot. Burana Beauty ‘Blenaflor’ love the color combination and very fragrant
Photo #3. Another NOID, just a nice flower with no fragrance
Photo #4. Epic. Siam Jade ‘Lakeview’ a nice off white-greenish bloom, also fairly compact grower, no fragrance
Photo #5 Blc. Yen Corona ‘Green Genius’. This is it first time blooming, light fragrance, just like the two oddly different colors.
Photo #6 another Blc.Yen Corona flower close up

The first time I looked at the photos they didn't match your description order. The first two had the photos switched. But when I reloaded the page they were back in correct order.

I think the correct clone name for the Yen Coronoa might be Green Genie.

Very nice. Love the third NoID.

There seems to be some confusion on the name of Blc. Yen Conrona 'green ?' Is it genie or is it genius? I think there was a discussion on this, here a few months ago. The tag says genius, but others say genie. Are there two clones that look very similar and we are getting them confused or did somebody miss label one and that started this confusion. I think that there were two clones that where similar that where sold about the same time by different sellers, one with the name genie and one with the name genius. It may just depend on who/where you got it from. I don't know

More confused after looking this up online. 'Green genie' is Lc. Brazilian Treasure X men Helen Brown, did not find ' Green Genius'. Same parents ? Just a different clone from the same flask? Some say that 'genius' is the more common clone but less info and photos. Some labeled photos show genius as having no blush on petals and genie having the red blush. But there are photos that show the opposite. (Only believe half of what you see or read on the internet) once again I don't know.
