    Default Cattleya purpurata var Ruba

    A friend gave me this one a few years ago,since then I have picked up three other vars.I find them quite striking. I was in San Fran about 10 years ago and the people we were staying with took us to a cut flower nursery and the chap there had a tressel with about twenty purpurata's all different plus I think two that were perfumedName: 2012_1113pur0002.JPG Views: 406 Size: 40.3 KB
