    Default Cattleya purpurata

    An out cross seedling I flowered a few years ago. Not the best pic or flowering but enjoyable.
    I don't know what the varieties of the parents were. I have had some help that way.

    As much as I can. It grows well, 3-4 new pb's every year. Might be too young yet. Its supposed to be an alba but only time will tell
