Default Cattleya iricolor

Fantastic Ecuadorian species with strong fragrance, although somewhat variable from year to year. This is a large specimen that I've been growing for more than 8 years.

Beautifully grown over several years, and well bloomed!
Not commonly grown either....

Mauro,
Another beauty as has already been pointed out. I understand that there is a lot of variance in this species. It appears that you've got teh right variance.
The more of your posts I view, the bigger my wish list gets! Don't worry, it's a good thing...my orchidholism is better managed when I visit nurseries with a list versus just showing up like a kid in a candy factory.
By the way, where is zone 1?
