    The two plants are crossed with each other, after a period of about five years, enjoy the flowers ^ ^

    That is a beautiful Cattleya Pacavia. In this offspring the purpurata parent is so dominant, you can see the hints of the tenebrosa parent in the lip and petals though.

    Cattleya Pacavia (Cattleya purpurata x Cattleya tenebrosa), but your is so light in color compared to others I've seen. I love it. Bravo!

    cheers,

    I don't think I've ever seen this cross before, but it's from two of my favorite species. Lovely!
