Beautiful contrasting colors and very perfumed. This plant is very hardy and can form a specimen in a few years!

Of course, it truly is beautiful!!!

What would you consider the hardiest of the warscewiczii's, Mauro? I really would like to have one but I've read they are hard to grow well.

Are some of them easier to grow than others? Do you have any growing advice on them?

Very colourful, I'm jealous.

Mauro,

That is another stunning speciemn...if I didn't know better, I would have thought that it was hybridized to look so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I grow several warscewiczii Debs, and honestly I never found any kind of trouble with them. They grow well and flower well under general Cattleya conditions. I don't do anything different with them. So, I think you could start with the tipo to see whether it adapts to your growing conditions. But, if you can grow other Cattleyas like labiata, percivaliana, trianae and others I am sure you can also grow warscewiczii.
