Fragrant ones
Blooming right now. I brought them into my house to have breakfast beneath them. Each one has a different fragrance. Photos from left to right:
C. trianae tipo or forma junio smells sweet and pleasant all day long.
C. intermadia x C. lawrenceana is a vigorous grower blooming several times a year. Heavily fresh scented with a citrus note.
C. percivaliana var. Carache synonym Farah Dibah. Good shape and color. Fragrance is variable and depends from sunshine, temperature and hour.
Like many yellow Cattleyas this one has a decent warm sweet scent in the morning. I bought this plant in 2004 as a seedling labelled L. tenebrosa. It looks like a Blc. Goldenzelle. I especially like its warm golden apricot color.
Laelia rubescens var. alba oculata, also known as L. acuminata. The spikes of the white variety are stronger upright and the flowers last longer than the pink form does. The plant is not fond of beeing repotted. Once established, it produces bunches of flowers with exactly the same flavour as "Double Bubble Chewing Gum".
