Cattleya intermedia var. lilacina
My plant still is small, but gave one flower anyway. I am posting it just to let the variety registered. This variety name refers to the color, especially to the lip color. Lilacina is the flower of a very clear bluish color (orchid sense always  !), or tending to it, something in between the lilac and the coerulea, but always very clear. In my case, the flower is also semialba.

That is beautiful, I have a C. intermedia but not that color. I'll have to look for one of those. Jim.

Mauro,
Where did you find this particular variation? I did a quick search on Google and did not come up with much.

This is a piece of a plant I aquired from a local nursery, Becca. True lilacinas are not common even here in Brazil, but if you dig here and there you end up with something. I agree, there's not much on the internet about intermedia lilacina and I think that this reflects the variety rarity.
