That's a great looking flower, Bruno. Is it normal for this species to flower this late in the year? I thought its flowering season coincided with that of Cattleya mossiae. How cool do you allow this species to get during the winters in Venezuela? Thank you.

What a pretty semi-alba.
I especially like the color contrast of it.

Thanks Steve, this specie if it is in good conditions blooms twice a year, during january to february and then a five to six months later. We do not have winter here, just dry and wet seasons, and during the coolest months december through february the temperature may drop to 15 degrees celsius. This specie is a hot lover plant really likes warm and humid days.
