As to the first AOS award to a Cattleya, it was to C. schroederae 'Hercules' AM/AOS on April 29, 1932. This is the first recorded Judging by the AOS and was also the first award. BC Springtide 'Stonehurst Var' AM/AOS was also awarded the same day but listed after the C schroederae. Please note that I am using the old spelling of what is now C schroderae.
Thanks to all of you.
Happy New Year
