Charlesworthii

This is the 2nd flower this year with another spike not far behind this one. Unfortunately the next bud is facing the opposite direction.

For some reason, I have not had much luck with this species. No idea why. So your success makes me very envious! Great job with such a gorgeous species!
The best I have done is a single flower on one clone, plant then went downhill and died. I think my water wand has three “notches” in it from charlesworthii. Again, good job!

Thanks big923cattleya!!
Im a happy guy!! I got this plant as a single growth and it just took off, clumping like a fool and I thought I would never get flowers!
Pretty happy with the shape and color of this one

Beautiful! I just received one. Is it a calcicolous species?
