Default Cattleya iricolor, the spider like Cattleya.
There is my version of this quite rare Cattleya iricolor. My plant blooms every summer with extremely strong scent. Perhaps some don't like the scent, but i consider it very cool and different.

Very lovely, and not common. Thanks for showing a good representative of this species!

Those flowers are stunning! I've read that this species does have a strong scent, but I've never seen a description of the scent. Would you mind describing it, please (if possible)?

Smweaver, it's hard to describe the fragrance of C.iricolor, because it is so different compared with the other orchids. I think it's sweet and strong (tangy ?), but not bad at all.
Once you have smelled it, it's easy to recognise the scent next time, even without seeing the plant

Wow, I really love C. iricolor! It looks a little on the large side to add to my collection right now, but what a beauty! Great photo! Thanks for sharing!
