some of which we have had as many as twenty-six 
flowers, measuring from seven to nine inches across.

an extraordinarily handsome acquisition, and certainly 
the richest and most brilliantly-colored Cattleya ever • 
flowered. Its flowers are extremely large ; the sepals 
and petals are very full and round, so as to almost en- i 
tirely enclose the rich broad lip. A very strong and ' 
perfect specimen, with four bulbs and one strong lead ; ; 
offers for this only specimen received. i
