Cattleya lueddemanniana (f.flamea’keiko’ x f.rubra ‘giulia’)

Cattleya lueddemanniana, also known as Lueddemann’s Cattleya or Cattleya speciosissima, is a beautiful and fragrant orchid species native to Venezuela. It is known for its showy flowers, which can bloom in shades of pink, lavender, white, or coerulea, depending on the regional origin.
Here are some of the key characteristics of Cattleya lueddemanniana:
* Uniifoliate: Each pseudobulb typically produces only one leaf.
* Showy flowers: The flowers are large and fragrant, with a well-shaped labellum (the lower petal) that can have a darker color than the rest of the flower.
* Spring bloomer: The flowers typically bloom in the spring, although some plants may bloom again in the fall.
* Variable colors: The flower color can vary depending on the region where the plant is from. Coastal plants tend to have larger, lighter-colored flowers, while inland plants tend to have smaller, darker flowers.
