Cattleya Aloha Case

This is pretty and has that great walkeriana fragrance but I'm a little disappointed in it. First of all the spikes are not strong enough to hold up the flowers so they need to be staked. Second, like walkeriana, the flower spikes are shaped like little cups and catch water. So the buds have a tendancy to rot. I lost two flower spikes with two buds each on this one this year.
