I think this lip color is particularly striking.

Another lip with a 'crazy' colouration !

Both your russelliana and this schusteriana are really great...I really can't decide which of them, I love most? Hmmmmm... maybe both!

Lovely and a very upright dorsal.

Even if mr. Russell turns out to be a purpur bishop in the end, the above still applies!

Yeah, I am NOT a purpurata expert by ANY means! Crass beginner, but learning and have never seen one I didn’t like!!

Pure wow. I saw this lip color on a plant at Hausermann’s years ago but passed as I was sure Cattleya were beyond my abilities. Now dying to find again, thanks to your whetting of my appetite. Well done!

Incredible contrast, and lovely veining in the tube. Seeing all the postings of this species is really testing my "no new plants until I make space" rule...
