Lovely White Christmas Cattleya!

Very nice DirGo! I love green/White flowers. It's strange, my regular dianthum Is one of the most long lasting flowers of the genus, It started flowering on august and still have some flowers on It. Do you grow It on a windowsill?

Good observations! I just think the more you water a plant the less developped its root system is. But my experience Is limited to organic medium I know nothing about S/I or other cultural methods.

It's always a nice species! It was one of my very first species back then.

Jens, thanks a lot for your warm words!!! It's a great pleasure for me as I guess for all the members who partecipated in this thread to know something more deep and personal about us.

Congrat Guidal for your awarded plants!

Beautiful lady! What the plant size Is?

Thank you all!! I hope that with the new name she still recognize me!!

Had a better look at the plant and flowers, couldn't be Soph. Arizona?

Leslie, take good care of her! She Is so perfect! I still regret to have killed a collection of 12 Soph. coccinea from orchidario Binot!

Thank you!

Grazie! I'm a man. The best advise I can give you Is to respect the dormant period, that Is quite long at least in my conditions, it' s very simple just stop watering/ fertilizing during winter months. I keep mine bone dry till new vegetation begins to grow up again. Intermediate temp. Good...

Thanks Pete, I had received the plant at least 20 years ago, my friend had gotten It in Brazil at least 15 years before. 'She' Is 35/40 years old

Is that the right name? Leslie, what your thoughts are about It?

Sooo red sooo nice!! Is Broughtonia sanguinea in there? Similar shape.

...some similarity to Cattleya tigrina to my eyes.

Leslie, no worries! It could be. But just take the following in consideration: -the pink colour that appear in the picture Is not so pink in reality( I take picture with my phone...not the best optics for sure) light conditions into the GH may false real colour. I agree about petals and sepals...

Thank you Ray for the great lesson!

Ray, Is kelpmax to be used as foliar feeding or as a drench?

I guess it's the qualities to be awarded! Awesome!
