Cattleya intermedia

No clone, just the simple species. Still nice enough I think!

Todd, I really like the pink veining on the petals and sepals! Do you think, this is the very normal species?
Mine is just showing the first flowersparts out of the sheath; it used to have almost white petals and sepals with a dark purple lip. Jean

Jean, it was bought simply as C. intermedia...no clonal info was given.

Might be challenging under lights Shaun as they like high light levels.

Jean, there are quite a few different varieties of intermedia available. Yours may be a different variety.

thanks for the clarification, Candace! Unfortunately, I only have one plant of intermedia 'normal form' (since 1995); so this was my image of intermedia until now; the really nice coloration of the shown flower was new to me for the 'normal form'.
But this is why we participate here, I think, looking and hoping for everything new, unknown!

I hope to be able to post pict. of my 'normal form', as well as of my aquinii, coerulea, and maybe, for a first blooming, orlata in the coming months. My last acquisition is aquinii coerulea, but there I am really waiting to see the flower!!

jean,

Did you cut that sheath open? Do you do that with all the Catts?

Yes, I did! perhaps, because I am eager to see what shows up! I do not do it with all my catts, laelias; only when I feel the buds have problems to get out of there, when they want to get fresh air as soon as possible, not to rot inside!! Jean
