Cattleya labiata var coerulea 'Blue Balls'
This just opened yesterday but the shape and colour was so good I had to post it.
It's the coerulean blue variety of C. labiata from a selfing of C. labiata var. coerulea 'Natural World' AM/AOS. Very round and blue, I named him 'Blue Balls' 😉Size is large for a labiata at 15 cm... might still stretch a bit over the next couple days... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d63c771dee.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...eb0cd0815e.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1fc16b26eb.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a9cfd2ba64.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...9960b1890e.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

At first I thought it was part of the framed art on the wall. Gorgeous! This one has been added to my wishlist.
|
You have got to be kidding me! :bowing
Great plant though. |
Nice flower saddled with an unfortunate name.
|
Lovely
|
Thanks all for the comments. In reference to the name, I see that it made a few uncomfortable ... but I named it with good intentions 😎

You guys are too much. LOL. |
absolutely gorgeous bloom, but can I say that I love the name? Made me guffaw!
I guess if you don't use its pollen, the name's appropriate... :P |

Retook updated photos today. The lip looks more white under this lighting of T5's.

The background of the lip looks more white, creating a greater contrast with the blue blotch and yellow throat. Flowers are slightly larger. And rounder lol... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
This looks really nice. A more subdued blue. Relief at last?
