This plant is the result of the cross Blanca x Aurora. The six flowers each have about a 7 inch spread, petals about 3 inches wide. This was one of the first Cattleya species plants I acquired. The fact that it is still with us despite the early shoddy treatment it received is a testament to its vigor.
The 2011 blooming is very much like the 2010 blooming, with two exceptions. First, the flowers are about a month later than last year (similar to the C. Stonehouse blooming). Second, there is more color in the lip this year than there was last year. I would guess these two factors are correlated with something else - reduced temperature?
