Cattleya lueddemanniana - 3 plants
 

Spring is Cattleya lueddemanniana season! Here are photos from two plants I have in bloom, and I'll post photos of another one when it opens a bit more. I also have a video of all three blooming plants here: Show & Tell - Cattleya lueddemanniana - YouTube

The first photo is from a division I purchsed in 2019 and the second photo is a first bloom import from Floralia I got in 2019.

I really like the hint of yellow on the lip. :)
