This is a picture I took in the Gran Sabana. A friend told me that is a Cattleya Jenmanii.

"The Gran Sabana of southeastern Venezuela is a very beautiful, remote plateau at the edge of civilization. It's covered by extensive, rolling grass savannas from which arise the famous table mountains, locally branded "tepuis," the most famous of which are Roraima ("The Lost World" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), and Auyantepui (site of Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world, plummeting 3212 ft). There are tropical forests skirting the base of many of the tepuis, and throughout the Sabana are riverine forests and "morichales," seasonally flooded stands of sedges and native moriche palms (Mauritia flexuosa) which provide oil, sugar, and shade. It was dubbed "The Tree of Life" by Alexander von Humboldt, one of the first European travelers to this area. The climate of the Gran Sabana is mild and very agreeable, partly due to the altitude of 2200-2500' (700-800m), and the continual fresh, buoyant winds. In short, a very promising orchid habitat. "

Hola Yvonne, hermosas las cattleyas que capturaste, la composicion es muy buena, con las flores alineandose segun la direccion de los bulbos.
Intensos colores, y funciona muy bien el marco que le pusite.
