I found a new source for monster size cattleyas! It was tough to choose, but this one came home with me. On the next trip I may bring one of their monster Porcia types home. For now i'll have to wait to clean this one up anymore than I have. I have two sets of buds out and three more sheaths (i think) to go. Then I can split it and repot it for the first time in a very long time it looks. I am told these plants are all over 40 years old....hope I don't go and kill it now.

You can see the potting materials have long ago rotted...
