C. Bactia 'Grape Wax'
 

I always look forward to see the head of waxy flowers on this plant. This is a clone that has been in my collection for several years.

Your beautiful photo reminds me of how much I miss mine. It became too large for my growing area and now lives with a friend. At least I have visiting rights.

Very beautiful, so many flowers on one spike, very nice.

Very impressive! The color is gorgeous and the number of blooms together really makes it a showstopper!

Great picture!!

Yes, fantastic! I do not really have the space for the larger Cattleyas any more but this one really tempted me. Thanks for sharing! It is lovely to behold!

So lovely!

I looked the cross up online. Wow!

Very lovely!!!

Thanks Steve. One thing the photo fails to capture is the glossiness of the flowers. The flowers are waxy and shiny.
