Cattleya tigrina var. albescens
Default Cattleya tigrina var. albescens

Hello

I hereby present to you a gem found a few kilometers here in my town.
It is a Cattleya tigrina (ex C.leopoldii), variety albescens.
Resembles the well-known and coveted "scepter of emeralds, to my point of view, it leaves nothing to be desired in comparison with that.
This plant was found already several years in the city of Morretes by Mr. Edson Lemes, and only a short time their images were available.

* This copy and found a variety called albescens, or pseudo-alba, because the spots on its petals and sepals. because interamente alba is pure green, without spots, and the fact that crosses between this plan, even if being SELF, individuals may arise from typical coloration.

To see all the photos, click on the image below:

Wolf, that is stunning! I have several plants of C. leopoldii, including this one, but it is just a baby. This is one of my favorite Brazilian cattleya species (along with amethystoglossa, walkeriana, guttata and nobilior). Congratulations on your beautiful blooms.
