Love this beauty...fragrant but not as strong as Iwan Apple Blossom.

I have it mounted on Epiweb with a little sphag at the roots.

I have seen this one before and it is a beauty! :)
Nice growing, Sue :clap:

Hubba hubba! Would you just look at that lip! I just love Caularthron hybrids.

It sure is a beauty...wouldn't mind having one of those in my GH! Then again, I'd like that pool in my back yard, too!!!!!! On a more serious note, educate me...Caularthron hybrids...more generally where are they on the Genus side of things? Dendrobiums... or some other pseudbulb chid????? Dorothy...Dorothy....where are you?????

Gorgeous little blooms!
Sue, is yours scented with floral?

cb977 09-08-2008 03:12 PM

Sort of...hard to describe though. :dunno:

Cattleya alliance. Pseudobulbs - yes. More like a cigar shape though, kind of like some Laelias. Instead of being just unifoliate or bifoliate, they have successive leaves that will eventually drop in a season or two. Thick rooted like Cattleya and Laelia. Reported to be sometimes colonized by ants, living inside hollow, mature p-bulbs. (myrmecophylli ?) Used to be genus Diacrum.

Oooh, that is so pretty! I have a young one of these but it's growing in a pot. I can hardly wait to see it flower so I hope it does well for me. Thanks, Sue.
