Wow. You just don't see this species very often. And I think may be the only Catt species with no registered hybrids. Love to see the oddball relatives of the orchid superstars.
Beautiful flowers....this is the first time I have ever seen your Cattleyas....you always show us Masdevalias....it is refreshing to know you also have other varieties
There is an interesting story about this orchid and "The Adventurer" who it is named after in a new must-read book named "The Scent of Scandal". All orcid lovers should own this book!
