Cattleya araguaiensis ‘Mister Cigar’

I don't smoke. But even I have the urge to roll one of those hehehehe
Fantastic shape and colour.

Interesting species!
I know exactly what you mean about indoor growing Leslie.
I am also giving my catts more water during their growing phase and they seem to be benefiting so far.

I'm - in eager anticipation - cheering on both of you and looking forward to see the outcome!

I actually love the tube shaped lip. This flower always reminds me of the members of the genus Cleistes, especially. C. divaricata. Round, "floofy" catts are lovely, but to my eyes this flower has more character and subtle beauty.
