This makes me more excited for my C. rex seedlings to reach blooming size.
Where did you get this plant, if I may ask?

This is very old primary Cattleya hybrid registered in 1904 (dowiana x Rex). The emphasis is on the gorgeous lip. I obtained mine from Orchids Limited not quite a year ago. Where and when did you obtain your plant and do you know the parents?

Thanks for your comments!
CambriaWhat, terryros - I obtained this plant from Orchidtrail. It is Rex 'Imperial' x dowiana. They no longer offer it, but you can email to see if they remade the cross. Keith Davis Orchds received an AM/AOS from a group of seedlings he flowered from this pairing. Orchids Limited may have sold the same.
rbarata - I will provide an image of the whole plant here shortly.
My plant has a yellow cast to the petals and sepals and Has a better Form than dowiana. It is also sweetly fragrant!

It's really a beautiful flower with an even more beautiful lip.

Mine, from Orchids Limited, was rex 'Imperial x dowiana var. aurea, so it is likely from the same cross. I haven't asked Jerry Fischer who actually made the cross and supplied flasks or seedlings to at least several other growers. Here is a link to a picture from Mauro Rosim showing both rex and dowiana var. aurea, showing the contributors to the great lip of this old primary hybrid.

Stunning flowers. Are they fragrant (hopefully dowiana's scent is passed on)? How long do the blooms last?
