Cattleya percivaliana
This is flowering for the first time for me, a very pleasant surprise for the good shape and the lip pattern. This seedling is a cross between the clones 'Summit' and 'Karen Graff'.

Mauro,
That is one nice percivaliana! 
I have never seen one with such wide petals and so round and flat before.
Bravo!!! |

To my nose the pointer would easily be between 6 and 7, Gloria!! But the 'perfume' varies alot. In some clones it really is something that keeps you off the flower, in some others it is tolerable, just tolerable!  |

LOL, Oh no, I was kinda hoping for 2 to 3 stinky level (if I had to actually have one)
The 6 to 7 really blows the stink factor out of the water for me. 
I've got a hybird of this comming in a couple of weeks, if the Stink O meter goes off, its going to live at you're house Mauro  |
