Default C. Jose Marti 'Mother's Favorite'....

C. Jose Marti 'Mother's Favorite' is my favorite white cattleya. It has large fragrant flowers and it holds the flowers high on the plant which makes a great display. It's been a reliable spring bloomer for me.

It doesn't really matter, but this cross was first registered as Jose Martin in 1959 and the same cross was registered in 1990 as Mother's Favourite. So, Mother's Favourite doesn't seem to be the clinal name the way it is usually displayed.

Those are really pretty blooms. I have C. Bob Betts, which is a parent of Jose Marti. These old white cattleya hybrids are great plants, reliable bloomers and showstoppers when in flower. Congratulations on the blooms.
