Very nice, Mauri! Did you bloom this? How are you growing it?

Yes, i bought it 4 years ago (size 2). pot from clay with fiber and bark. Very slow to stabilize (1 pb each time). Now she's well, she gave me 5 pb (2 with flowers).

Beautiful flowers on that one, Mauricio. Congratulations.

Steve, if you're interested in a "blue" version of this hybrid, send Fred Clarke (Sunset Valley Orchids - Grower and hybridizer of quality orchids, Vista CA) an email to see if he's got any seedlings left. I got two of them from him last fall and they're very nice seedlings. He's got them listed as sold out on his site; however, he still might have some plants available.

Steve,
Thanks for the heads up! I just might do that.

Very nice Peckhaviensis, I like the hybrids having aclandiae or schilleriana as one of there parents because they are usually easier to cultivate. Have you see Cattleya Corcovado, Pão de Açúcar....Cattleya Kerchoveana and Lagoa they are also fantastic.

I'll search a photo of my C. Pão de Açucar, wait...
I've posted a Cattleya Witei too (C. Warneri x C. Scilleriana).
Have you seen it?

Yes I saw your splendid Catts. I have also a few species (labiata, luddemaniana, gaskelliana,intermedia, schilleriana and walkeriana) and hybrids but here in Belgium our big problem is the lake of light. We can only cultivate these in good conditions during five to six months (May to beginning October).
