[Carmella.carey]

One of the Dixon hybrids from 1930 Laeliocattleyanthe Molly Tyler won at a raffle yesterday at our OS meeting. Original division with CyMV and ORSV and no color break. And for terry Cattleya Molly Tyler (1930)

Or I guess since this hybrid being 25% bowringiana and 25% purpurata, bowringiana being a Guranthe now and purpurata a Cattleya now its Cattleyanthe and the old name would be Laeliocattleya.
Confused myself there

Catt. talk ALWAYS confuses me. It is amusing though.

Had it, grew it, flowered it. It should do well for you.
The only down side I could think of in looking back, my clone became a beast of a plant! Not a beast in terms of reluctancy to bloom but a beast because it got to be a huge plant. After several years, I traded it away to another club member. I couldn't justify giving one plant that much space. Congratulations!!!

It's about a 3 feet or a meter tall.

Yes, that sounds about right! It will throw multiple growths and be very full. Good luck!
