The C. (L.) tenebrosa 'YD Black Eye' × self is a sought-after progeny from an exceptional dark clone of the Brazilian species, prized for its 6-8cm glossy bronze flowers with a dramatic, near-black lip and a spicy cinnamon-clove fragrance. This intermediate-level orchid thrives in warm, bright conditions (24-32°C, 3,500-5,000 lux) but is crucial to provide a distinct, drier winter rest to trigger its spectacular summer blooms. Grow in a very coarse, free-draining mix and water heavily during active growth, tapering off significantly in winter. The 'YD Black Eye' parentage ensures potential for exceptionally dark flowers in these seedlings, making them a rare and valuable prospect for collectors of unusual Cattleyas.
