Cattleya Quinquecolor

This is a primary hybrid between aclandiae and forbesii.  Its main blooming season is late spring and fall, but it can sporadically bloom at other times, such as now.  Nicely fragrant.

    A very elegant looking flower - is the plant very large / tall ?

    Charlie,this one is quite compact. Each growth is about 8 inches. It is now filling up a 6" basket.

    Wow, that's great. This cross was first made by Veitch in 1865 ! Where were you able to find the cross today ??
