Cattaleya Portia Blue

An old orchid that has been in the garden for many years. Blooms frequently and usually gives 4 to 5 blooms per spike. This particular spike had 5 blooms and unfortunately the weight of the blooms and the heavy rain last night broke the flowering spike hence the awkward position of the blooms. This is a very old hybrid that was registered in 1897 according to The International Orchid Register.
