L. purpurata var. coerulea - new acquisition

[Nico]

Hi. I am so happy with my new acquisition I can't help myself to post a picture here. It is from a German vendor and arrived in perfect condition: around 12 pseudobulbs, a very tall and strong plant. Not a cheap one... but deserves the money. It is my best cattleya alliance exemplar.

It's a coerulea form, but no idea of the intensity or the shade of the blue... It has been in flower before, which is a good thing, I guess

Here it is next to a medium size phal.
