Here is now my second plant of Cattleya skinneri alba 'Debbie' FCC/AOS.
I had split my large plant in 2010, it was then measuring about 6 feet across and had become totally unmanageable. I had found chopping the plant to be a true challenge because the center of the whole clump was more or less ball shaped, and it was tricky to cut through that without injuring many live eyes. ( I did it right after it had finished blooming).
So this is now the major chunk in bloom and the new growth/flowering is not as well balanced as one could wish, but I am hoping in subsequent years it will be more even. ( if it is not out of control again by then....)
