Cattleya dormaniana

[jokerpass]

Cattleya dormaniana: blooming second year in a row. Easy to grow but a rare Cattleya species in cultivation. Maximum 2 flowers per spike. Love the star-shaped flowers with unusual colours. I just inherited a 3rd Cattleya dormaniana (a semialba) added to my collection.

Nice. Is it scented?

The colour composition of C. dormaniana is extravagant....you like it or not ... and I like it a lot. The flowers of your plant are lovely.

Thanks, I love it.Now I have 3....lol/// It is hard to find in Canada, I hope it is easier to find it in the US or Europe.
Another Cattleya I am looking for is Cattleya bicolor, which is very hard to find an established plant and ms or bigger in Canada too.

No, it is not scented.

Definitely an underrated species. I would LOVE to see your semi alba one - I’m growing a dozen or so nice blooming size regular forms of dormaniana here in Ohio but didn’t even know there were other colors that exist!!!
