Your favorite long lasting Cattleya and relative bloomers
Let's hear it guys, what are your favorite cattleyas and close relatives that have long lasting blooms? One of my current favorites is Cattleya Arid Acres, coming in at around 7-8 weeks.

Lc. Tropical Pointer 'Cheetah', I'd say. Easy to grow and the blooms last a good while...

C. amethystoglossa, without a doubt, especially once a plant gets large and starts to put out multiple growths per year.

Cattleya Quinquecolor 'Proflic' I have several large divisions off the original plant and each has a mind of its own. They seldom bloom at the same time. But needless to say, the blooms last a very long time and each division blooms several times a year.

I couldn't find that one on the internet. What does it look like? I'm going to an orchid show on Saturday, so I want to go with my eyes open.
