Hi all,

Well, you're all very sharp. It is, indeed, Cattleya percivaliana. I had not noticed any smell at all, so will have to do some sniffing tomorrow, although based on Clint's description, maybe I shouldn't! Laurent, I hope you get to enjoy yours in bloom soon.

I confess I had no idea it was even about to bloom--I had not noticed anything emerging from the sheath. Then last weekend, I discovered it in bloom! I guess I am not observant! Actually, I was aware of two other Catts in spike, so maybe I can just call this one the stealth Catt!

Cheers,

Rob
