Wow it’s as big as the petals!
....and the colour this 'velvet red' is stunning.
Hadn’t thought of that so I measured. You are right. Actually bigger. Lip W 7 cm, L 7.9 cm; Petal W 7cm, L 7 cm.

Thanks! At VOS show in Feb it won a red ribbon but bloom was not as stunning. There is another sheath that has developed so I’ll see what that bloom looks like. One problem with second flower though, weird color flaw. I pray it’s not a virus. Will test.....and the colour this 'velvet red' is stunning.
Probably just an environmental response to the warmer summer temps? I've seen this same issue with other Cattleyas that bloom in the winter and then again in the summer, many times for me the summer blooms have issues.
lovely colour
