Cattleya trianae concolor ‘Orion’

[monocotman]

Another plant blooming early after the house move this year.
However this blooming is way, way better than last winters.
It must love the new grow room and lights.
The texture of the petals is thick and plasticky!
The colour is wonderful and there is just a hint of a flammea mark to the petals.
I can now see why this is a popular mericlone.

I will be interested to see how your flowering times change (or don’t) this next cycle with everything acclimated to your conditions.

Nice soft colors. I’m always amazed how variable the bloomings on catts can be from year-to-year, if I didn’t know better, I’d think they were be two unrelated plants!
