Fragrant Cattleyas
 

Hi all, I was thinking of ordering 5C146 Lc. Irene's Song 'Montclair' HCC/AOS from odoms orchids. Does anyone have this one and what does it smell like. The description said it is very fragrant. Their Prices are high thought I would get some input before taking the plunge. Thanks

Beautiful one there. I bought one from Cloud's Orchids last year. It hasn't bloomed yet.

They will grow like any other cattleya. Give it higher light levels than a phal, grow them in bark and let them dry before each watering. Also fertilize often since catts tend to be heavier feeders than a phal. I forgot if it is mini, I don't believe it is mini (sorry I haven't paid as much attention to my catts but they grow well and are tolerant...)

I went to take a look at my plant and it is not a standard sized plant but it is not a mini, what is the correct term for its size?

Compact or midsize?

It has 4.5 inch flower
