I couldn't resist this. This is Bc. Maikai 'Louise' AM/AOS, a primary cross of Brassavola nodosa X Cattleya bowringiana. The cross was registered in 1944 and this was probably awarded shortly after. I couldn't pass this up! There are at least 16 spikes coming on this and it badly needs repotting. It is currently in a 5" pot. Now I HAVE TO BUILD MY GREENHOUSE because I have no place to properly keep this long term.
