This Cattleya species is very well-known world over and doesn't need much comments. If one takes the type to compare, the flower shown below has two major modifications, the wine color and the peloric traits.

Nick, intermedia has many color variations as you know, but I must confess that this is the one I love the most!

I can see why!! I wasn't aware that there were colour variations within the aquinii's, I thought the aquinii was the variation, but I guess it only applies to the splashes of colour on the tips of the petals? Is that correct?

That's correct, Nick. Aquini refers to the color splashes on the petals!
