Cattleya Mrs Herbert Greaves
Wonderful fragrance! We could not be happier with the outcome of this primary cross. The progeny received a good shot of the charming gaskelliana flower shape and more modest growth habit but with the temperature tolerance and free-flowering character of the loddigesii. Those we have mounted on cork have done very well. Flowers open pale pink but darken with maturity. Temperature Tolerant. Fall blooming.
