Another Cattleya bicolor var. brasiliensis

Here's a deep brown Cattleya bicolor. Some areas of the flower show sort of burgundy color instead of the brown. Very fragrant by noon.

I have to say, Mauro, that's about the best looking bicolor I've ever seen!

That's beautiful, Mauro. How big (and old) is your plant? Again, I think that I need to print off a picture of your flowers and hang them up near my baby bicolor to hopefully inspire it. Congratulations on your fantastic flowering plant.

Yes, Suzie! The stems can be as long as 2.5 feet! Sometimes more.

Thanks, Steve. The plant is about 7 years old more or less (since it was a seedling).

I think I might have to come to Brazil so I can find all of these awesome variations!!
