Bought this last year. First flowering in Sydney summer. Just one small one though.

Thanks to Roy for the updated correct name for this hybrid - Rhyntonleya (Rly) Swan's Shy.

That plant is Smawzow!!!!!

Thanks Dillon. Hybridised by a local Aussie Cattleya grower. My first flowering. :bowing

I always love these cattleya hybrids with the flares

Dillon The hybridiser also does those spotted 'leopard' print like hybrids. Not sure I like them though, as like you, I prefer these ones with lovely flares.

Well I like both, but the ones with flares call to me:biggrin:

Hey, do you have a mister or humidifier in you greenhouse?

My greenhouse is just an against the wall floor length cabinet, small enough to humidify with one of those cheap eBay sonicating humidifiers and with multiple fans for circulation. However I grow my Catts outdoors sheltered or indoors in Sydney, they seem to do ok. I just don't have a lot of space for plants as I live in an apartment and there's only the balcony.

Lovely!

oh that sounds nice;)

OO:bowing, did you just take those cause beachboy just told me its daytime in australia now?

Great set up!

Do you water everything at once or each plant individually

With the name changes etc which are a pain, the registered name for this cross is

Rhyntonleya (Rly) Swan's Shy.

I'll post a pic of a white one.

Thanks Roy. I can never get my head around the newer names for the Cattleyas hybrids so I just copy what's written on the tag knowing they are outdated!

I am a big fan of Cattleytonia and I love you plant.
