Cattleya velutina
 

Thank you for posting your picture because velutina is rarely seen in my part of the word.

Very nice!!

And, yes, thanks for sharing. I have a couple of these but I think I still have another year or two before they are mature enough to bloom.

Cool.

:hello A most unusual color scheme and is on my top 10 list! I received a small plant last yr from Santa Barbara Orchid Estate in Ca. solely planted in granite chips in a small pot. The grower has had luck with this culture and simply places the plant into larger pots as needed. Roots are all over the place-interesting,no? I'd like to hear your culture also and also pix of entire plant. It's glorious!

Wow! Fabulous!

That is one sexy Cattleya!

Not for the beginner. My congrats for growing and flowering this one successfully.

Love, love, love it. But if it is hard to grow then it will not go on my list just yet hehehe

:hello Loving this one and I'd like some tips for growing mine,please!
