Cattleya harrisoniana

Both are the same species but very different flowers.

Just shows the variation orchids are capable of. My fav is pic #1. Excellent form and color.

Very nice. I also like the rounder robust and flatter flower Dave chose....they both have vivid colors and lip coloring...is it fragrant?

wow! ive never seen this species before! and i LOVE it! that first one is great! excellent color and form! and the substance looks nice and thick!

Bud, it does have a strong aroma but very pleasant. This is the first time that both plants have bloomed. When mature they are capable of producing large clusters. Frankly I don't like large clusters because they don't display very well.

Beautiful - both of them - but the color and form of the first is fabulous!

Beautiful! Thank you for showing both;
the difference in their look is amazing. Is the scent the same and at the same times?

I don't have a very sensitive smell but it seems to be the same and most fragrant in the beginning of the day.

Nenella, I would like to add that I think they have done so much line breeding with a lot of species that they have come to look like hybrids.
