Cattleya aclandiae 'Exotic Jaguar' x self

[Subrosa]

The flower started opening 2 days ago and I just noticed the first hint of fragrance today. Fyi, there is no trick of perspective in the second picture. A substantial piece of the plant sits 2" away from a 120W LED panel running 3W emitters, albeit only driven at 2W. Still, these produce A LOT of light! Regardless of how long I try to acclimate them, Echeveria burn at anything less than 4" from these lights. All summer long my Echeveria sit next to the aclandiae where they can get the most unobstructed sunlight as possible. This one really likes light!
