    Default Cattleya Chocolate Drop

    I brought this one indoors to fill the room with fragrance. So yummy, wish I could find candy that smelled like this I'd eat it all.

    I had a hybrid with this, and a laelia of some sort, it was Cattlianthe Chocolate Dorman, and mum thought it smelled either like vomit, or old socks lol, i liked it though!

    This particular hybrid is very nice with the bunching flowers, darker red colouration and the scent! Thanks

    Seven blooms filled the air in a 20 X 40 room within a hour, with this great fragrance. Can't wait till it gets bigger. Be sure and post your pic when yours blooms brutal dreamer.
