Cattleya harrisoniana var. pérola

[greenbean]

This is a nice one Mauro! I like the clean form, not too floofy. And pearlized?!!! Awesome! But I definitely need more repotting practice before getting something like this.

Yes, Susanne! It is a very cute flower. I was not lucky with this clone because the maximum number of flowers I got until now was four, I guess. But, the clone 'Candida' can give up to 10! Impressive view! I acquired 'Candida' many years ago, but then, ten years ago more or less, I did a mistake repotting it at the wrong time and the plant immediately got back to the seedling size. Since then the plant doesn't die, but also does not get higher than 1" tall! I can understand the effect of my mistake, but it is hard to understand why it refuses to grow up!
