Default Cattleya nobilior var. amaliae 'Dona Laura'

Dona Laura is my 93 years old Grandma, a lovely old lady who is honoured in this fine, intensely perfumed Cattleya nobilior.

Such a beautiful flower. I saw a c. nobilor at an orchid show earlier this year . I liked the color and shape. But yours is a wonderful honor to your Grandmother. Thanks, Mauro for sharing your pictures with us.

Color, form, I think are appropriate for an elderly person. And there is no special elder person than a Grandmother.
I see in the second pic. the wrinkling of the leaves. Is that also caused from your recent cold snap?
