Cattleya loddigesii 'Laura Trevisan'
One of the nicest I grow, this and 'Iza' I posted the other day are from the same sow, a cross between 'Vera Lúcia' and 'Senhorita'. Laura Trevisan is my grand mother, a lovely old lady now in her nineties!
The third photo shows the forming buds just to illustrate the kind of buds of good two-leafed Cattleya: fat and round. For me, the tip makes me think of a full mouth.

Mauro, that's got to be one of the best-shaped loddigesiis that I've seen. I think you have too many plants, so I'm willing to generously help you out. Why don't you cut off the flowers, pack the plant in a box and ship it to me. Mark the contents of the box as "corn seedling" to help get it through customs. :-)
