mine is in bloom as well and i like both of your's more!

well done

I describe the fragrance as a freshly opened package of bologna. My girlfriend does not agree but can 't put it into words. Interested to know how others describe it

I found the fragrance to be like olive oil, but sweetened a bit.

very nice blooms! So.. basically smells like a charcuterie board? haha. Do you find it pleasant?

The pattern in the lip and throat is amazing! That's for both sam and CH's photos. Very nice indeed.

Thanks all. Couldn't even smell the blooms as they shrunk due to a very dry hot weather.
I think some more buds are developing :).

Under any conditions the blooms are very short lived for a Cattleya. I think the longest any of mine lasted was about 10 days.

Thanks:D
