Very pure

Hi,

I think the brazilian cattleyas are really interesting, including this one. I just bought C.aclandiae and C.loddigesii, the flowers have such a pure appearance.

C.aclandiae

Chris I've had C.aclandiae for nearly 3 years without it flowering. With this years new growth I have placed it in much brighter light and I think there is some growth from inside the leaves; fingers crossed.

Dry and very bright light

C. aclandiae likes it dry and with lots of light. The grower i got mine from, has them almost to the point that they look stressed.

I hope it is a flower and please post pictures.
