Got this awarded a couple days ago. Unfortunately I was taking it to a show two weekends ago and my car broke down, so it got a little damaged. Evidently they would have scored it quite a bit higher. Oh well. Neat thing about this one is that the flowers open white with some pink veins in the lip, and darken to that hot pink color over a period of a week or so.
Actually had two spikes, the second had maybe 5 flowers on it. Each flower is a bit smaller than my hand. Although I have no particular documentation confirming it, this is evidently the 'lowland' form of C. maxima, but with a color more approaching what might be found in the 'highland form'. I have no idea, I just grow it.

Supposedly this is synonymous with Guaranthe maxima now, although evidently it is all changing back to cattleya soon. I hope it does.
