A Merry Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle ' Christmas

Wishing all my friends and readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Love the dainty, lilac-coloured Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle '.

Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace is currently my favourite Laeliinae orchid hybrid. There is a mild, nondescript but pleasant scent and the flowers come in bunches of 3 to 6 blooms that last about a month.

Vegetatively they resemble a large and robust Caulathron bicornutum plant and behave somewhat like their Caulathron bicornutum mother with the tendency to sulk a while if the roots were disturbed during repotting. However, once growth resumes they are quite forgiving and easy to rebloom.
