Cattleya trianae pelorica ‘Kaleidoscope’

[DrLeslieEe]

The most colorful trianae in my collection. Peeking from behind the leaves lol.



I will try to cross it with my bicolor peloric trianae (below). Let’s hope they get along well and play nice lol,

I like the second one! A cross between two peloric plants should be very interesting. It’s highly likely that the peloric gene is recessive but when two are crossed who knows? If the pelorism is controlled by two separate genes then they may cancel out and the progeny may end up as normal ish, but until you try, who knows?

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Peloric genes are dominant so even if on different locations, they will most likely expressed phenotypes over each other. But the color permutations may be pretty wild.

Good to know Leslie, so a good proportion of the progeny will have peloric flowers. I’d love to see them when they bloom.

Yup … or more …

There is some nurseries that can do in 3-4 years. I hope they will take up this endeavour of mine.
