Cattleya jenmanii alba selfing #6212 (approximately 25 seedlings per flask).

Species: This species is from Guyana and Venezuela at elevations from 1300 to 3300 ft in patches of dense forest scattered in an open, grassy savanna. The plants are compact, about 10 to 12" tall, and growths are closely space. The flowers are sweetly fragrant, 5 to 6" wide and carried on a short inflorescence.

Culture: Grow in bright light while providing good air movement. The temperatures in nature are fairly uniform through out the year. The nights are in the low 60's F and the days are in the low to mid 80's F. Januray through March have less rain thought here is no real dry period. Water plants when actively growing and make sure roots dry quickly.

Cattleya jenmanii alba: I do not have images of the actual parent, so show here a representative example. My thanks to Piotr Markiewicz for permission to use his images.
