Of course but not in shape, colors are variable. Eldorado is one of the smallest unifoliate Cattleya (7 to 11 inches pseudobulb + leaf).Originally Posted by kiwiorchids
Jordan, all I know about Cattleya eldorado, I learned it from my Brazilian friends Mauro Rosim and Vitorino Castro.
Look at the Eldorado Gallery of Mauro Rosim (3 pages) : Here. Always the large orange disc in the throat, the lavender/purple (or only a spot) on the bottom edge of the lip and the fringed lip border. As Chadwick says : the color pattern of the lip is distinctive to the species. For a precise description of the flower, read Chadwick or Withner.
It's not mine. Congratulations must go to Mauro Rosim.
Betty, a gift from a friend is always precious, regardless of the tag.
