Wow, so very pretty! A beautiful primary.

Beautiful, both! the flowers and the leaves! a very stunning orchid you have there... Any fragrance? How many times a year does it bloom?

Hello serenasyh, yes beautiful fragrance but it does only flower once a year as does it's parents.

whoo-hoo, but it's got gorgeous leaves on it! so unlike the twice a year, lumpy standard Cattelyas, it has gorgeous foliage to keep it looking very arresting during the non-blooming times...wooooow, an absolutly luminous orchid with! beautiful fragrance...

An interesting note is that in the 19 century C leopardi was considered to be a variety of guttata and were considered to be the same species and now they have split into two distinct species.

It is not possible to know which was originally used to make the hybrid.

I will say the leaves look much better than the species guttata or leopardi and I like the blue added to the cross by loddigesi
