I love the white Catts and this is, in my opinion, one of the best. This blooming is holding ten 14 cm flowers on three inf. Very fragrant, very reliable and just plain beautiful.

Wonderful! Ten flowers at once, it must smell amazing.

NOW THAT IS A WHITE CATTLEYA!!!
Stunningly so! Ten flowers, wow?
The form on this is amazing. 3 sepals all held out straight and broad. 2 gorgeous petals and a wonderful lip!
I’ll bet that these are impressively fragrant!!!

It is very pretty. Compared to almost all of the classic whites (Bow Bells/Bob Betts, etc), this 1964 registered hybrid has 44% loddigesii because one of the parents is the famous Henrietta Japhet. We can see that in the lip structure and in the stance of the sepals. Yet, the 1/3 mossiae in the genes must be affecting size. Something polyploid must be in there to get such size and floriferousness. Did you acquire this as a division or a mericlone? Does it test virus free? Hausermann’s does not currently have this for sale so it may be difficult to find.

I squired the plant several years ago from the RAMOND BURR collection and have divided twice to give away divisions.
Yes to date it is virus free.
