Cattleya lueddemaniana var coerulea flamea ‘Marmalade Blue’

[DrLeslieEe]

Received this division from Brazil from the nursery Orquidário Americana in 2020. Finally it grew strong enough to bloom.

Amazing flamea in a coerulea form of this lovely species. Almost pentaflamea with the mini brush strokes in sepals.

Tease, David? Tormenting would be a more appropriate term!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

I think orchids torment us and we take it lol. The addiction and wanting are almost painful and exciting at the same time!

Wow!!! Your incredible flameas have made me covet more than I have most anything in the orchid world. Torture it is, as for every one I get now one must go, so I have to be disciplined (which is not my strong suit)!

Outstanding Leslie and a wonderful upright dorsal.

I bought that from Glen Decker few years back. A print that was retouched by the artist Angela Mirro. I also got one from him by her of the Phragmipedium kovachii.
