The flowers are considerably smaller than veitchiana and unlike veitchiana they are virtually without hairs on the lower sepals, i.e., they look more two- colored than veitchiana.
I see what you mean about the lack of hairs. I did notice the two colours looked more distinct but hadn't realised the lack of hairs was contributing to that.

Thanks, Ysa. Thanks, too, for making me a contact on Flickr. Took a look at your photostream and you have some great pictures - really liked the Cattleya hybrid with the statue.
