Description
A cross between the darker rubra form and a standard pink type should result in a deeper pink to fuchsia flower color.

This is a stunning orchid and the wonderful fragrance can not be described but only experienced. This is the plant that really started orchid mania! It was first flowered by William Cattley in 1818, then described by Lindley in 1821. Cattleya labiata was then lost to cultivation for 71 years when it was rediscovered in the Brazilian Province of Pernambuco. The flowers of this particular cross will have deeper color than tipo due to the rubra parent. These were treated with Oryzalin for tetraploid conversion, so there is potential for 4N plants among this group of seedlings.
