Thank you. No, I do not know the parentage. I purchased it off Ebay from a grower in San Jose. The tag has the species name clearly visible, but there is also a faded two word portion to the tag that starts with "Blu" but the rest is not readable. That may be a clonal name, but I do not know of many coerulea clonal names for this species.

That's a great-looking C. lueddemanniana. I tend to go for the standard pink and purple versions of this species, but yours is really attractive (which means now I need to give myself a headache by trying to figure out how and where I can squeeze in yet another cattleya!). Does it have the typically pleasant C. lueddemanniana fragrance?
