Default Some Cattleya boomng out now

Here are some Cattleya in bloom at the moment:

The labiata var. roxo-bispo has an uncommon color in the lip. The petals and sepals are swettly tinged of pink.



The next is a representative of the tipo of good form. The second photo compares it with the var. roxo-bispo.



An interesting variety caerulea in which the amount of gray in the lip is considerable. The other is a pale variation, almost concolor if it were not for the darker slash in the centre of the lip.



This Cattleya bowringiana var. albescens is almost completely white, except for a light band of a 'bluish' color in the lip.
The second photo shows a nice form of Cattleya jenmanii semi-alba

Absolutely beautiful, Mauro. The bowringiana, which has not been one of my favorite species, is especially captivating. Lovely.

Those are all wonderful, Mauro. I really like the roxo-bispo variety of C. labiata.

What can I say. I came home from work tired and frustrated and then I go to the Forum and see your name. I know that my mood will be changing shortly. As usual, your beautiful flowers and information have put a smile on my face. They're all gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.
