    Natural spread of each flower is 4 ½ inches . If they were dead flat it would be 6 inches.
    But as my mom taught me a few (!) years ago, "if ifs and ands were pots and pans, all the whole world would be tinkers"... but I don't think that many people now would even know what a tinker was. ( He was an itinerant travelling mender of holes in buckets and saucepans - and who can even imagine doing that at all, in todays disposable society ? 0
    All this philosophy stuff is because I can't think of anything to say - except, - I like this cattleya, hope you do.

    I like the lip as the color is so beautiful with the white background.
