Rooted in South Florida....
Not really. It is a very old one. At least 25 years. Laelia tenebrosa was what it was called, changed now in Cattleya tenebrosa.
In Europe we do not use variety or clonal names that much, as you obviously know.
But is is a nice one. Dark colors, nice veins, huge flowers. And flowering every year with 5 or 6 flowers on a stem. I love it!
