Cattleya labiata var. suavis
Or at least that is what it says on the tag...
I'm growing it in a basket. Not much fragrance that I've noticed, at least at the times of day I've sniffed it.

I've had it for about three years. This is the first blooming I remember. That doesn't mean it hasn't bloomed before, but I don't think it was this impressive. That is four flowers on one inflorescence.

I'm not a Cat lover, but I could be swayed

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

No divisions. It actually isn't that big of a plant... I'm looking forward to next year!

That is beautiful Rob! I think you should just send me the whole plant and I'll send you back a division in a couple years.  |

Looks great Rob!!! I have recently started growing some of my cattleyas in baskets to try them out. I think because I am a heavy waterer, might work better by allowing the media to dry out faster.
