Thanks for your comments! The 'Diamond Jubilee' clone has a narrower lip than other clones of C. Ruth Gee that I've seen. It also holds the flowers well on long stems. It was awarded a First Class Certificate from the American Orchid Society in 1983.

Gorgeous white. Is it always a summer bloomer?

Yes, that is a beautiful bloom? And I bet it has a great scent too (seems to be a trait shared by many of the classic white cattleyas). How big is your plant?
