Cattleya Purpurata Var. Cindarosa

[Malipoense]

Got this plant as a division from a local orchid society member last year. It grew a large growth over the summer, then matured and produced a large sheath with six buds. Its purple-pink lip is stunning! Fragrance is nice, not overpowering. I'm impressed that it still bloomed with six buds in a year after being divided.

That lip is striking!

These flowers are very attractive ... I like especially the contrast between the white of the flowers and the colourful front part of the lip.

That is a great pick up.
