Default Cattleya Hardyana 'White Face'

This is one of my best Hardyanas! My plant is man made, but this primary hybrid has already been found in the wild. The flowers on this plant are large (17cm lip/dorsal sepal tip and 15cm petal tip/petal tip) and intensely perfumed. The colors in the lip form a unique design!

Wow Mauro,

This is astounding!

Is it a safe guess to think that this was a cross between a C. dowiana var. aurea and C. warscewiczii var alba? I think that the color combination here is just fantastic.

By the way, do you know of any Brazillian vendor that might ship to the US, and that has this plant available? I can't locate one here that sells this guy...and I have a very strong urge to add one to my collection!

I remember your pics from last year with this one!! Absolutely freakin amazing flowers! Were you lucky with this one by buying a seedling from good parents or did you purchase it in bloom some time back? I ask because I buy seedlings from good sources in hopes of finding a gem somewhere along the line. Thanks!
