Cattleya labiata 'Rotunda'
Exceptionally well formed, this clone also has dark coloration compared to the ordinary of the species. Selective breeding inside this species has been producing some outstanding flowers of Cattleya labiata. In this case, the parents used were two also very good plants, the clones ‘Michelle’ and ‘Batatais’. Some plants of their progeny, like this one, have surpassed the parents both in form and color. My plant held a seedpod these past months, so the flowers are not showing their full potential.

Mauro,
Your plant is gorgeous but....are you sure it's not a hybrid?!? By the way, yesterday night I went to "Cattleya labiata Night", promoted by SBO in the "Babenberg Club", and this labiata (pic) reached the 2nd place as a 'type'; half of the audience thought it was a hybrid, the other half was sure! The plant's owner was not present (Mr. Longhin or Longuin- I don't know the correct spell). Mr Alarcon (from Praia Grande) did not agree with us, and he believed it was even a labiata, highly selected through generations. For me it's amazing to see a "crossing petals" in a pure labiata!' It looks like a trianae!

I can see how some could mistake them both for hybrids.They are stunning! Mauro, did you self it, or cross with something else?
