Cattleya Heathii semi-alba
Fragrant, this flower has just the right touch of pink in the lip to make it very captivating!
Often found out there labeled as Cattleya dolosa, these man made hybrids between C. loddigesii and C. walkeriana are more properly called C. Heathii.

Actually, Louise, the epithet 'dolosa' should only be used to identify the plants of Cattleya dolosa found in the wild. The population of this plant is large and I personally believe it is an independent species. The artificial hybrid between loddigesii and walkeriana is registered as Cattleya Heathii at RHS.  |

Thanks Mauro
Do you mean that dolosa is a natural primary hybrid of loddigesii and walkeriana that can be find in the wild? So, over here it's surely a mistake to call it dolosa !

A little, Louise. I studied five years 'La langue et la civilisation Française' (comme disaient les professeurs!) and spent some time in Paris (Vitry) while working for a multinational back in the 80's. It was part of our formal education to study the French language until the end of the 60's, then French was substituted by English. |

It is an elegant cross.
It also reminds me of C. walkeriana semi-alba "Kenny" which is not considered to be a pure C. walkeriana.
