Cattleya guttata

[Wolf]

Essa é a Cattleya guttata, que floresce aqui na região Sul mais ou menos nessa época, de Abril a Maio.
Lembra muito a Cattleya tigrina, (leopoldii), mas possui muitas diferenças que quem possui as dus espécies logo nota.
A Cattleya tigrina, floresce em Dezembro/Janeiro, possui flores maiores que variam do marrom claro, verde oliva, variando entre essas cores até a tonalidade mais escura, enquanto a guttata varia do verde claro, amarelo, até a tonalidade mais avermelhada.
a Cattleya tigrina tambem possui o tubo do labelo totalmente colorido, diferente da guttata, que permanece com o tubo do labelo branco ou levemente rosado.
O perfume das duas tambem é diferente.
Entre outras diferenças mais sutís.

This is the Cattleya guttata, which flourishes here in the South more or less this season, from April to May.
Been very Cattleya tigrina (leopoldii), but has many differences that whoever holds the note as soon dus species.
Cattleya tigrina, blooms in December / January, has larger flowers ranging from light brown, olive green, ranging from those colors to the darker, while guttata varies from pale green, yellow, until a more reddish hue.
Cattleya tigrina also has the full color tube of the lip, unlike guttata, which remains with the tube of lip white or slightly pink.
