Cattleya sp. id

[dodidoki]

Marianne Heack s plant from Sweden. Mislabeled as trianaei Sangre de Toro, i think it is very different and special. I have thought but i don t want to influence your opinions. Any thought?

My first thought when I saw this was a variety of Cattleya gaskelliana.
I thought that that species featured tubular lips, broader petals and slender sepals with rolled tips.
But I am probably wrong but it is still fun to guess!

My thought is not gaskelliana.

Well, it is pretty and I thought I was wrong.

A trianae hybrid perhaps with dowiana? Those yellow eyes …

 

[Hilmar]

hi,
not trianae `Sangre Toro`, as attached, but dowiana influence...

Thanks for comments, i think is is a very dark form of mossiae.Flowering time, shape, pattern is the same as my tipo mossiae, but much darker.My tipo mossiae for comparison.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Not mossiae for sure.

 

[NEslipper]

It’s beautiful, but I also am not convinced it’s a mossiae. I still see a lot of trianae in the flower.

I have tipo mossiae and saw few mossiaes, i would stand for my opinion, it is mossiae. But it is a forum to change our thoughts, opinions...Can you explain your opinions?
My arguments are: flowering time is ok, flower shape is ok, colour pattern is ok ( you can see the yellow color of the lip from outside!).This lip is about Leslie 's plant:
