This particular clone, C. Dinard 'Blue Heaven’ is at a mature blooming stage. The parental cross for this clone is C. Saint Gothard x C. Dinah.

Cattleyas are often annual bloomers. This variety tends to be a Summer-Fall bloomer. However, it is always possible for it to bloom out of season. This plant is NOT currently in bud or flowering now.
General orchid care for Cattleyas include a temperature range of 75-85F during the day and 60F at night. 40-60% humidity is recommended. Bright, shaded light south-east or south-west exposure. Check the media and water only when dry (about 1-2 times/week). We recommend fertilizing with a high phosphorus & potassium slow release blend to develop big blooms. As with all orchids, good air movement is essential. Repot these mature size orchids every 2 years.

I was looking for this hybrid for long time. Very happy to finally get it. Plant came in a very good condition, with the new grove. The only negative things that the new grove a little bit brussed, but I hope it will bloom for me this year.
The plant looks nice and shipping was as described.
