A beautiful, fragrant white NOID catt I inherited.

Nick

You can smell that thing half way across the room. As soon as my daughters discover it, it will be gone.

Recchara monument valley, (Blc Bryce Canyon x SCK superbiens) is a huge plant which it gets frm the superbiens. The top of the flower stalk is 4' above the rim of the pot.

The plant giving you an idea of it's size.

Nick

All blooms are absolute beauties.
Don't blame your daughters for nicking your NOID catt. I would too.

Another one of my NOID catts.

Nick

Love the white catts. Your NOID is beautiful!

Nick, I suggest you put a tracking device in that fragrant, white one's growing medium. That way you'll know which daughter has the loot stashed. Great photos, and great guidance to the orchids' blooming excellence.

It's Halloween and Cattleya deckeri is doing it's annual display. Always at the same time, getting bigger every year.

Nick

Another view. A huge plant, I wanted to take a division but the root ball is like a block of cement. I'd need a power saw to cut through it.

Nick

A few flowers.

A single flower.

Nick, you started this thread with a species orchid. Floofy only applies to despised hybrids AND half way down you have Cattleya Chocolate Drop. Which isnt!
Anyway, mostly lovely orchids and I have no pics to contribute.
Just read through the thread and saw the note about C. White Eagle. It was registered in 1954 and it is still good.

When is blue not blue? Anytime you read an Orchid Catalogue,Laeliinae section.But the orchids above are lovely.
Here are various varieties of Cattleya intermedia in my collection.
Variety aquinii. Many discards where the petals were distorted.

Just beautiful! What I love about them is the flowers last forever.

Lc Maili Beauty 'Yoshiko Hiquck', is beautiful, but I second Allymarie's comment , about the red noid.

Colourwise the Blc Cornerstone 'Hawaii'. is spectacular, but the noid interests me because of the fragrance.
