Huge Cattleya labiata var. semi-alba
 

This is nothing more nothing less than 18.5cm across! A huge labiata semi-alba with strong, wonderful perfume!

It's a beauty, Mauro! :)

Mauro, those are outstanding! How big is the plant itself? Are all (or most) labiatas strongly perfumed, in your experience?

Steve

That would look marvelous in my greenhouse! As usual, your cattleyas are superior in every definition of the word.

Mauro, you just brought this semi-alba lover to his knees! Stunning!

Kim

Those are amazing!

Thank you guys, you are all very nice!
Steve, the average size is around 30cm. Plants coming from the State of Ceará are smaller than this and plants coming from the States of Alagoas and Pernambuco a little taller than this. In my experience, all labiatas are strongly perfumed!

Another great one Mauro as always great pictures also. Thanks Jim.

Excellent information on both counts, Mauro. Thanks for answering my questions--and for the inspiration to do my best to get my two plants to bloom next fall!
