C. amethystoglossa & lueddemanniana
The first two photos are of my favorite Cattleya amethystoglossa I got from Sergio Garcia (Olompali Orchids). The third photo is C. lueddemanniana with rubra parents I imported a few years ago. The final photo is my favorite luedde of unknown origin. New YouTube video about them here: https://youtu.be/NueALOe0I90

All of these are excellent, Steve. Although I too really am a big fan of Cattleya amethystoglossa, I very much like that middle photo of the dark-colored C. lueddemanniana. The bold colors are quite attention-grabbing. Congrats on all of them.

No, this one is actually diploid! In fact, I took some photos comparing the blooming 2N and 4N. I'll start another thread soon.

It may only be diploid, but the C. amethystoglossa is special with the veining and spots!

What lovely blooms. Like them all, but those first 2 are killer!

I think both blooms are gorgeous. The amethystoglossum especially, with its color contrast. Thanks for posting, and I will be viewing the video soon.
