Cattleya jenmanii var. coerulea 'Kathy's' AM/AOS x self
Each seedling from the original flask came out a little differently, though all beautiful and with the coerulea color.
South American Cattleya species, native to Venezuela and Brazil. Typically blooms in clusters of 3 or more fragrant flowers per newly matured growth in late summer/early fall.
One of them, with large flowers and a particularly beautiful lip, received an Award of Merit of 85 points in Oct. 2017.
Can you believe that story said; that only a single coerulea plant was ever found in nature.
Don't forget the wonderful fragrance, the best of all the Cattleya species I think.
