cattleya intermedia

[veekay]

Hi,
This is the image of cattleya intermedia given to me as a gift and do not know whether it is orlata,aquinie or striata
would like some one in the forum to identify it for me if they can?
The flowers are really colourful.
regards

Well, from what I see in Orchid Wiz, it doesn't look at all like orlata with the flares. It looks more like aquinii. But there is also flamea that it looks similar too, and I didn't see one of striata.

Very nice, anyways!

It's a vinicolor aquini but something seems wrong about the shape of the flower (lip). This might be due to meristem culture but to be sure wait for it to flower again.
