    A nice example of this Autumn blooming species native to Brazil, and its the type species of the genus. Cattleya labiata first bloomed in the greenhouse of Mr. William Cattley of Barnet, England in 1820.

    I could sit and look at that for quite some time. Actually, I just have. It's beautiful.
