Cattleya lueddemanniana Cerro Verde

[Royal Rea]

Belated I know but flowered late last November, and got a pod set. With a little friend, or frenemie.

Simply divine!

Love this cultivar. Had one 15 years ago that threw so many flowers. Sadly I killed it.

Btw nice cup on the right lol.

From Fathers Day last year, the kids did a great job.

Wonderful clone. Mine is still growing nicely but not quite the size to bloom.

Very nice, I love it, one of the most beautifull cattleya, IMHO. Strange that plant is sold as lueddemanniana, but probably it is a primery hybrid( Carmen). Another similar famous cattleya "species" is a lueddemanniana hybrid, too, a Gravesiana, the legendary awarded mossiae Willowbrook.

Beautiful, whatever it is!
