Cattleya wallisii (syn. Cattleya eldorado) var flamea
My favourite Cattleya species is in bloom again! Just opened yesterday with three flowers and another three buds in tow (on second sheath). More pics when they fully expand.
This one is special because it is the flamea form with magenta splashes on both petals and sepals. Quite rare.

That is a beauty! So now I have to find me another Cattleya!! I don't see that species listed much. Was it hard to find? Of course I'm in Canada so would likely be harder still.
