Been in in bloom for a week. It’s the first flower ever. Been with me for a few years.

What a looker!

Any scent?

#### Barbara replied on 2024-08-15

Yes it a strong scent fairly pretty and a bit changeable I think. Wondering how long it lasts. This plant was Clouds Orchids seedling originally.

Gorgeous! You’ve given me hope for my little Cattleya seedlings that have yet to bloom for me. This is a good reminder that lovely things are worth waiting for.

Right? Feels like an eternity

It can take awhile. Good luck with yours.
