Cattleya Portia coerulea
Not one of the best as to the form, but I like the color hue!

Mauro you are torturing me today! 
Spectacular, i love the color on this one- I've never really seen a "blue" orchid but I guess this comes somewhat close with intensity
Im trying to get a cattleya which is crossed with the same parents as portia coerulea I hope it looks as lovely! |

Even if the form isn't quite the best (your words, not mine. lol ) it's got great color (I especially like the combination of the yellow in the throat with the petal and lip color), fragrance, and is very floriferous! I'd say it's a winner! Thanks for showing us this beauty, Mauro!

I've been keeping it just because of the characteristics you mention, the combination of the lip colors and the floriferousness! But, you know Evan, I've seen caeruleas much, much better than this as to the form. |
