These Cattleya (Laelia) purpurata are going to be dark. Beautiful nearly solid purple flowers that will shine from across the room! These sanguinea types are breathtaking in person and as with other Cattleya purpurata, they grow up to be true show-offs with the plants getting nearly covered in flowers. This Brazilian species is one of the most iconic species in the genus and has a huge following from collectors who want all of its many color forms. Plants are well-established in 3" pots.
