Another Cattleya Hybrid

This is a bonus plant I receved a few years ago. The tag said it is C. intermedia alba 'Sonia X C. Elizabeth Carison.
I'm not shure that is what it is.

That's beautiful! I love that tall flower spike. It's very elegant.

That's really quite a nice-looking plant, with closely space growths and lovely blooms (can definitely see the influence of the C. intermedia parent). Is there any scent to the blooms? I would have been quite pleased to get this as a bonus plant.

I googled C.Elizabeth Carison and came up empty, but it did show a Cattleya Elizabeth Carlson. Its a nice white, so not sure where that lip coloration came from, but maybe the parentage of it has something in it, like gaskeliana and its a stray gene (strong at that) popping up.

I agree, its a fantastic looking plant/flower. That should make a good specimen in no time.

Thanks for sharing.

It has a very light sweet smell with licorice under tones.

I guess I need new glasses. You are right it is Elizabeth Carlson not Carison. The print on the lable is hard to read.
