Default Cattleya iricolor, the spider like Cattleya.

There is my version of this quite rare Cattleya iricolor. My plant blooms every summer with extremely strong scent. Perhaps some don't like the scent, but i consider it very cool and different.

Very lovely, and not common. Thanks for showing a good representative of this species!

Those flowers are stunning! I've read that this species does have a strong scent, but I've never seen a description of the scent. Would you mind describing it, please (if possible)?

Wow, I really love C. iricolor! It looks a little on the large side to add to my collection right now, but what a beauty! Great photo! Thanks for sharing!

A real beauty for sure. I love the rainbow like color of the lip. Is the "spider like" description one of your own or is it referred to as that?? Anyway it's a good one. I am primarily a cat. grower and would love to add this one to my collection. Thanks for the pic.
