That is a lovely species!
Cyann - I'm not picking on you, but will use this thread to make a point and plea:
PLEASE use standard nomenclature when discussing and describing plants. Folks around here are getting sloppy about that, and doing it properly can avoid all sorts of confusion.
The two most common mistakes I've seen recently are capitalizing species names and not capitalizing hybrids, and not using single quotes to indicate cultivars.
For example, in this thread, the plant is properly described as Cattleya percivaliana ('Henrique' x 'Summit').
It may seem that I'm being "picky", but these conventions are in place for a reason, a name is a name, and to take it even further off base in the wrong direction, we might simply refer to our plants as "orchids", which would confuse everyone.
