Cattleya Mareeba Tiger

[Djthomp28]

My favorite spotted cattleya is blooming again. This time it is up to 4 flowers. Not too shaby for me and my growing. Ha!

Very nice! I really like these hybrids out of the Brazilian species. They are unique and different.

Gorgeous. Does it have a nice spicy clove fragrance?

 

[Djthomp28]

@PeteM the fragrance is heavy, spicy, and sweet! I can smell it outside on my patio, when it's inside.

I like these Catts. with chocolate coloured petals a lot ... just lovely even of the fact that you have to look twice to find out it's a hybrid.

Thank you all!

Very pretty indeed. I grow a fair number of catts. myself. All most ever one loves catts. My only complaint about catts. is that many of them have short lived flowers. How long do these flowers last?

SVO has these coming to be released in February...

Wow! Beautiful flowers!

Thanks for the heads up @tim! This is a Sunset Valley Orchid (SVO) clone from 2014 : SVO4956 C. Mareeba Tiger (C. leopoldii 'Paul' AM/AOS x C. schilleriana 'SVO' AM/AOS)

@Bob in Albany N.Y. These are very fragrant and short lived. I think they hang around in good condition for 3 weeks or so.
