I love this one! Looks like I'll have to print this pic too, and add it to my orchid wall in my dorm room. I'm starting to think that I'm living in a jungle, with all the orchids and orchid pics I have everywhere. My friends think I'm a nutcase.

It's good to safely feel in the jungle in your dorm!! Good way to travell with no risk at all!!

Mauro this species is my second favorite cattleya. Only topped by C. trianaei because it's the first plant I ever had back in my home country. I love all the variations of the plants that you have posted.

Rolando, I don't believe leopoldii has as many varieties as trianae has, but the ones it has are very beautiful for the species!
