For your viewing pleasure:
Two C. mossiae v. Semi-Alba in foreground and a straight Alba behind, followed by closer shots of each.

Holy cow, Tom, what a great sight. I like them both, the semi-alba as well as the alba. What about the scent? Is your greenhouse full of Cattleya perfume ?

 

[monocotman]

Lovely! Herds of catts are my thing.

If only I had room for these lovelies. Beautiful!

Yes indeed, when the air warms a bit it’s pretty lovely

Incredible specimens, fantastic growing and flowering! I think the alba is my favorite, you don’t see many of those around anymore. Where did it come from?

The alba is Alvardo Pedera, which I acquired from a hobbiest in Hawaii 8 years back.

A really lovely display.
I prefer the collective noun - " a corsage of cattleyas". So much nicer than herd.

How about a 'flock'?

You cant reuse a collective noun. It should be unique (and descriptive)
