C.walkeriana fma.albescens 'White Face' (Tokyo No.1 x Puanani), a photo by ken558456 on Flickr.

Note that this grower appears to have the plant in potting mix. What is more likely is that there is a layer of styrofoam peanuts (or something similar) and only a thin layer of potting soil (or something similar) over it. Just guessing...

A very dark and nicely shaped anceps grown by James Rose of Cal-Orchid.

Cattleya Callistoglossa

This bloomed for the first time in June. Primary hybrid between purpurata and warscewiczii, alba version from the good folks at Cal-Orchid. James Rose tells me that with good culture one can get 5 or more flowers on a stem. I have two (fairly large) flowers per stem on each of the first two blooms.
