The Cattleya maxima var. coerulea 'Dennis' represents one of the finest blue forms of this Pacific coast species, producing 12-15cm pale lavender-blue flowers with intricate darker veining and a powerful sweet-spicy fragrance. Thriving in bright coastal conditions (4,000-6,000 lux) and warm 24-30°C temperatures, this large orchid demands a pronounced dry rest period after flowering. The 'Dennis' clone is particularly prized for its consistent blue pigmentation and frilled lip margins, achieved through careful cultivation with cooler 18-20°C nights during bud development. Grow in extra coarse bark mix to prevent root rot, watering heavily during active growth but keeping nearly dry during its winter rest. This trophy-status orchid appeals to serious collectors for both its rarity and spectacular floral display.
