Newest cattleya from seedling (mossiae x mossiae semi alba)


After two years of growing this John Barnes seedling out, it finally surprised me yesterday with these giant eloquent blooms! Now I have to wait a few days to see if there is any fragrance to them.

I immediately crossed one of the blossoms with Potinara Sweet Chief Orange but those blooms were spent so the pollen may not be viable anymore. Only time will tell!
