Between the nighttime neofinetia fragrance and daytime fragrance of these beauties, it's a pleasure to be in my greenhouse anytime.
Cattleya tigrina 'Sanbar Giant' FCC/AOS (about 20 flowers)
Cattleya tigrina 'Exiter'
The flowers of this clone are very thick and stiff, almost as if made of plastic. It is almost certainly polyploid. The photo was taken with natural lighting, the dark red color is not from photo editing.
My third,
Cattleya tigrina, 'Summer VooDoo' HCC /AOS, just started a spike from a new sheathless growth. It's flowers are more like the Sanbar Giant.
