Cattleya intermedia fma. orlata 4N

A lovely species native to Southern Brazil and into Uruguay. As its species name implies, this plant is intermediate! It is a medium-sized plant with medium-sized flowers that is also easy to grow and flower, making it a great species overall. This is a 4N tetraploid version of this species, meaning the flowers should have a larger and thicker substance than the standard diploids.

The photo example is the clone 'Sendai' BM/JOGA from Japan, a very select plant with large flowers that may be a tetraploid. Expect the same colors but potentially with rounder, thicker petals.

Blooming size plants. Some may flower off-season in the fall or winter.
