Cattleya granulosa

This a newly acquired species blooming for the first time. It has 2 blooms is mounted to cork bark. The flowers have an unusual fragrance... hard to describe unlike any other Cattleya species I have. I just love it and look forward to many more bloomings.

That is a beautiful photo. How long did it take to get established on the cork mount? I've heard that they can take a season to come out of shock from mounting. Any thoughts?

When I purchased this orchid it was already growing on the mount. However, I have been mounting many of my other cattleya species over the last year. I have found that if I mount them when they are seedlings or as a division they take within weeks. I divided a C. maxima last year and mounted the divisons on tree fern they are now growing out of control now.
