Yet another expensive color form which has bloomed out not as expected. I am giving up on these unusual cattleya color forms as the breeders only seem to be interested in making money from these seedlings when they could produce many more plants true to type by mericloning, but then they wouldn't be as expensive. So they hoard the originals and occasionally sell off a division for really big bucks. Doesn't really make sense, but that's how they seem to be playing it. Meanwhile we just hold our breath and hope the original doesn't die before someone has the sense to mericlone these rare and beautiful flowers.
This one turned out to be a fairly nice maximum, but I already have a typo color form and don't have room for two.
