Cattleya gigas (warscewiczii) 'Frau Melanie Beyrodt'
First blooming of this plant for me. As beautiful today as it was in 1904.

Wow a piece of an original wild collected plant? It has a very beautiful lip, and the white sets it off nicely! So.......?

Yes indeed. It has never been mericloned, so plants of it are inevitably divisions of the original.
Divisions appear once or twice a year on fleabay, and if you know who to ask (and have the funds to do so) it can be acquired without too much difficulty. |

My two warscewiczii seedlings appear to be the tastiest things in my collection to rats. They're still alive, and I'm still trapping rats.
