Cattleya warscewiczii semi-alba

[mikefallen13]

Here's warscewiczii semi alba just opening up. This one is much more 'typical' of wild type warscewiczii in terms of size and shape, about 6.5" across with petals that fold forward, though they do flatten out as the flower fully opens. I absolutely love the color of the lip, the rich magenta really pops against the white petals and the pink flares on the petals are a nice touch as well.

And just for a fun, a size comparison between the lip I removed from my other warscewiczii while pollinating and this semi alba
