Cattleya bicolor
Four leads, and including the length of the tallest spike, the plant is just over five feet (1.5 meters) in height [the tallest growth--without factoring in the spike length--is approximately 41 inches (104 cm)].
I loathe being in any photograph. But this gives a good idea of the size of the plant.

Fantastic is an understatement for this one!
I only have baby bicolor plants right now ..... probably 50 times smaller than that huge one in the pic there heheh.
I love the olive colour of the tepals, and pink of the lip, and no side-lobes. And the curvy sepals on the side, that curve downward. A nice feature about flowers like these, and related ones ---- is the 'star-jump' appearance! As in doing star jumps.

We couldn't help but notice all the other interesting stuff in the background.

He's too old to be offended, by I assume you aren't referring to Roger the pug. :-)
In the background there's a mature Stanhopea tigrina that's flowering, and a good size Dendrochilum latifolium that's just starting to open its blooms. I'll post a couple of separate entries for them when they're fully open.

It's excellent to see the cute dog there too! Just as long as he isn't offended by calling him cute hahahaha. Maybe he will be ahaha.
