Cattleya perrinii semi-alba

formerly Laelia...

Excellent shape on this one so it earns it's own posting...

Gorgeous!

Wow. Very nice. Does the s/a have a sheen to it? There is something very elegant/graceful about perrinii. I've never seen a s/a before. I just recently noticed that EOM has a blue clone. It's a shame the flowers don't last longer.

No, no sheen...it's a pretty matte flower.

I've had it for several years now and off the top of my head...I don't remember exactly who I got it from but I'm pretty sure it was an import. I'll check the tag and see if I have a name. I have 4 or 5 perriniis (would add more in a heartbeat because I love them!) and I do have EOM's coerulea. I got it a year or two ago and it's still a couple/few years away from blooming. Love EOM's plants but they are all very young. Of course, they have some things you can't find elsewhere and the prices are very reasonable so it makes the wait not too bad.

Thanks for looking and thanks for the kind comments, guys.
