Unknown Cattleya

[thepurpleorange]

Well yet another of my new orchids has bloomed and as a noobie I have no idea what they are. This time I did some research though, and I think it may be a Cattleya Jinmanii??? Am I right?

It's beautiful and it could be a jinmanii or hybrid. Without a tag or knowing the breeder you will probably never know for sure.

If it's a species I'd think more towards Cattleya lueddemanniana but could be a hybrid to.

I agree. Much better match for C. lueddemaniana than C. jenmanii (I assume that's what you mean). Could easily be a hybrid though.

As usual, thanks everyone! From the pics online, the colouration (especialy the speckled purple on the cone) looks a lot closer to the C. lueddemaniana than the jenmanii.
