    Default C. Hawaiian Wedding Song 'Virgin' (Again)

    This is the same cattleya plant that I used for the self cross last year.
    The seeds are now in flask and with some luck, I could get them to germinate.

    Flower detail.


    Cluster close up.


    16 buds.






    Photo with a soda can for comparison. This plant is a monster.



    By the way, this is the same plant that I used for my repotting tutorial last year. It looks like it has already filled up the basket and might need to be potted up again next year.

    I saw one of these in person for the first time last weekend. Yours is quite a bit bigger, though. You've done an amazing job with yours.
