Cattleya lueddemanniana

[dodidoki]

I got it as trianaei, I think it is different.

Does the column area near pollen cap have two horns (the unique trait of luddies)?

Maybe Carmen? Yes, it has horns but flower is much bigger than regular luddis and the lip pattern reminds me to gigas...

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Horns are usually lost in hybrids. Also some luddie flowers can get up to 16-19 cm NS at times.

How tall are pseudo bulbs?

 

[dodidoki]

Big....maybe 18-20 cm.

Three flowers on a stem also seems unusual for a pure trianaei or lueddemanniana. Whatever it is, it’s beautiful, and hopefully very fragrant!

impressive dorsal on that one

I agree with the others. It’s a nice thing but looks like a hybrid, maybe a primary with lueddemanniana,

Thanks David, I think so, looks gigas x lueddemanniana to me.

 

[monocotman]

Have you asked the vendor about it?

Oh, no....it is from stauss orchid, all of plants turned to fake what I bought from him before. But prices are so high!!!

 

[Ozpaph]

its pretty, anyway

 

[GuRu]

Can't say anything regarding its classification...but what I can say is, this is a really nice flower which I like a lot.

Dodidoki,
I’ve had quite a different experience with Max Strauß. The plants I’ve received have all been good and properly labelled.
They can be expensive, especially the divisions as opposed to the seedlings, but you get what you pay for.
I would get in touch with him and give him a chance to rectify the error.
