Gorgeous!

For the record, I got a tenebrosa last summer from a local hobbyist - grown outdoors year-round ... it spent last winter out doors with me, taking over night lows to at least mid-30s. Sheltered from rain, frost - put into uninsulated garage if there was a chance of freeze; I don't know if the garage makes any difference over just pushing things up against the house It has a so far empty sheath on it now.

According to James it can withstand that cold of temps. He grows it outdoors in Northern San Diego. Last year I grew it coolish (when under 50 I moved it inside) and it flowered later.
This year it was grown it warm (above 60) and it flowered earlier.
I wouldn't loose hope.

I love this kind of shape on cattleya. The purpurata look.

How tall is the plant? Does it grow gigantic like purpurata or shorter??

Whoever named this vinicolor clearly drinks rosé wines.
