Cattleya labiata var coerulea 'Blue Balls'
This just opened yesterday but the shape and colour was so good I had to post it.
It's the coerulean blue variety of C. labiata from a selfing of C. labiata var. coerulea 'Natural World' AM/AOS.
Very round and blue, I named him 'Blue Balls' 😉Size is large for a labiata at 15 cm... might still stretch a bit over the next couple days...

At first I thought it was part of the framed art on the wall. Gorgeous! This one has been added to my wishlist.

Nice flower saddled with an unfortunate name.

Thanks all for the comments. In reference to the name, I see that it made a few uncomfortable ... but I named it with good intentions 😎
