I think Mauro is correct. Read this article to understand the history of the famous Cattleya labiata. Note the scarity of Cattleya labiata and the possibility of the artist of drawing one at the time period. Also, I think the hummingbirds breed in spring (someone please correct me), thus spring blooming C. warneri.

Of course he is! 
What'd I tell you Jason? Print that out for Kim, she'll probably want to use Mauro's words to have a plaque made for under the painting!  |
