Cattleya, possibly portia
Hi folks.
Tough one here, Cattleya cross and I suspect portia (C. bowringiana x C. labiata) but my suspicions may well be unfounded.
First pic is of the just opened flower, next two are of the fully opened spike from either side, last two are of the plant as isurus79 mentioned that C. bowringiana crosses have telltale basal stems.
Sure is pretty, whatever it is. Previously the best it's done for me is 3 flowers per spike, now there's two of 7 or so blooms each. And yes, it desperately needs splitting and repotting, and I will be getting it out of bark.
Cheers,
Aus.
