Native to Colombia, this magnificent species produces some of the largest Cattleya flowers in the world. We have flowered some that are 10" wide! This particular plant is the best we have seen of the species and is the result of selfing the 'Leo Holguin' FCC/AOS clone. We grew a number of these up to maturity over 12-15 years, and this one is by far the best. This plant likes intermediate to warm temperatures and can withstand fairly high light levels, but in summer months, keep slightly shaded. This clone flowers around the 4th of July, give or take a week or so.
