Cattleya gaskelliana? Please ID...
I bought this plant as gaskelliana, but I don't think so... The lip pattern is not typical for a gaskelliana as I see at some web pics, but I´m not an expert about cattleya species. The flowers remind me hybrids like Melody Fair or Mishima Flash, but the petals have that "elephant ears" shape, the upper sepal is bent backwards and there is a certain species "look", that I really like, so I don't know what to think about it. I don´t complaint. Indeed I like it a lot, so I don´t care that it isn't a gaskelliana.
I will appreciate your comments about this wonderful flower. Ahhh, no fragrance yet... still it has 3 days opening.
Thanks
Mario
