Default Cattleya jenmanii var rubra 'Unaí', C. labiata, C. silvana

True rubra variety is quite seldom seen in Cattleya jenmanii (for the most part, the so called rubras I've seen are not correctly classified as such a variety). The one posted here is very dark purple-reddish, no white in the flower.
The second flower is Cattleya labiata var. semi-alba and the third is Cattleya silvana, alredy discussed here if I'm not wrong.

Awesome color on the jenmanii, but I think the silvana is very special. It looks very laelia-ish, and I love laelias.

Me too, though C. silvana is as deliciously (or even more!) scented as jenmanii!

All gorgeous, but I especially like the rich colours of the Cattleya jenmanii
