Cattleya violacea 'Mariale'
 

Just a pair of days ago I received this magnificent gift from this violacea, actually wasn't aware of such beauty untill I saw the flowers completelly open. I named Mariale in honour of my daughter. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Ted, Ramon, Steve, Mathias and Kim.

ohh, what a beauty! i love the deep colors, thanks for posting this one!

It's fantastic, Bruno. Are the blooms of this species fragrant?

Steve

Fabulous!!!

Thanks Steve, yes they are fragant very slightly and very much alike to the cattleya lueddemanniana fragance.

Beautiful one, Bruno! Very desirable!!

Thanks a lot Mauro.

Really nice. I love the deep red at the end of the lip.

Thanks Rosie.

The lip is actually not deep red, it is violet, very hard to get in the picture, I couldn´t reproduce the true color of the end lip.
