Cattleya labiata 'Rotunda'

[Rosim_in_BR]

Exceptionally well formed, this clone also has dark coloration compared to the ordinary of the species. Selective breeding inside this species has been producing some outstanding flowers of Cattleya labiata. In this case, the parents used were two also very good plants, the clones ‘Michelle’ and ‘Batatais’. Some plants of their progeny, like this one, have surpassed the parents both in form and color. My plant held a seedpod these past months, so the flowers are not showing their full potential.
