Cattleya eldorado flamea (syn. wallisii)
I thought I would share a very special cattleya species. It has become one of my favourite cattleya of all time... It just opened 4 days ago!!! I'm so excited! It survived the botched UPS shipping through the winter and the harrowing ice road drive through the 2015 NE USA snow storm! This is the first of two leads that is flowering.

Thanks all! The flowers measure about 15 cm NS. It looks bigger because the petals are larger and rounder than typical. The plants are about the size of a trianae.
I retook pics in better lighting below:
