C. lueddemanniana 'Cerro Verde'
Last year I was able to obtain two plants from separate sources, but possibly divisions of the same plant. The tag says "Cattleya lueddemanniana semialba 'Cerro Verde'.
Obviously it is a splashed semialba. However the coloration of the splashes on petals and sepals varies a bit from the intensity on photos of the rare original clone, so eventually it might be the result of a selfing.
In addition I want to refer to the thread of palm521 here, who claims that 'Cerro Verde' is most likely a natural hybrid of lueddemanniana with gigas/warscewiczii, a it lacks the horns of the column.
But away from scientific considerations both are great plants with stunning flowers and a scent to fall in love with.
