Cattleya quadricolor

Ohh, this is one I am excited for! Cattleya quadricolor  (syn. C. chocoensis) is supposed to get very large, and have around three 17.5 cm (7") flowers! Unfortunately, its' roots were dead, so it will get set back a bit, but this gives me the perfect opportunity to try semi-hydroponics. If it had any roots, they would have rotted in the semi-hydro set up anyways.

Here is the plant. Four p'bulbs, tallest one has about a 7.5 cm (3") p'bulb and a 15 cm (6") leaf.
