I like this - especially the veining on the green!

Beautiful!

One of my favorite!~Charm

I've always wanted to add this one to my bifoliate catt collection but don't have space for another biggun. Color me jealous! :>)

That is a beautiful photo. How long did it take to get established on the cork mount? I've heard that they can take a season to come out of shock from mounting. Any thoughts?

Here is a link that might be useful: Cattleya granulosa species growing info

When I purchased this orchid it was already growing on the mount. However, I have been mounting many of my other cattleya species over the last year. I have found that if I mount them when they are seedlings or as a division they take within weeks. I divided a C. maxima last year and mounted the divisons on tree fern they are now growing out of control now.
