warscewiczii

While attending to judge the Medellin shows, I was lucky to be included in a Frontino Orchid Expedition to see one of the Cattleya warscewiczii habitat owned in a sector of private land. The 5 hour drive through mountainous terrains and cloud forests was exciting, with the car halting to a stop...

This is probably my all-time favorite warscewiczii of all time. The stunning white lip pattern has a red central waterfall, flanked by yellow eyes, and a cotton pink picotee around the margin. Due to the hot summer temperatures and intense light in GH, one of the leaves has sunburnt markings...

This multigrowth plant seems always to bloom at every new lead (blooms during spring as each new lead matures). NS 15 cm.

One of my favourite semialbas … huge flowers on a compact plant. From the Christofferson Collection seed cross (Marjorie x Augusta Victoria). NS 17 cm. What is lovely about this one is that the side lobes is completely pink, forming a solid trumpette 🥰.
