C. labiata rubra 'Schuter X Vlorada do Sol'
I never dreamed this little plant would bloom this fall, so I'm really tickled with her!

That one is a sweetheart! Do you expect that it will stay small, or is that just because it's young?

The flower measures 5 1/2 inches right now. I don't know what is standard for this species but I would think as the plant strengthens and matures the flowers should only get better.
It also has a sweet fragrance. Not over powering but nice.

Oh wow, nice one. Great color on the sepals and petals. The lip is nice too. I like the size it has now.

Debs, you have a fine labiata there! This cross 'Rubra Schuller' x 'Morada do Sol' has been giving some superior clones, like yours!
