Rlc. Lucky Strike x C. Horace

[Dorsetman]

A biggie - 7 inches across ( natural spread), Nice perfume too. I only seem to notice it with pink cattleyas like this ?
First flowering for me, and in fact for the plant.
I always look out for Horace hybrids- it happens to be one of my names, although I don't use it , and Horace ( the cattleya) itself is a nice ( and ) big one.
I am please with this, although I have to admit I would not want all my cattleyas to look like this.
