Hi everyone. I am worried with this flower of a seedlings that I bought a year ago and flourished for the first time. One of the flowers was missing the color in the middle of a petal as you can see, this will be a virus or stress from the heat. The cattleya is Blc Hauserman Gala x Blc. Hauserman Jade ‘Lake View’
Ive been told that first time flowering can be a bit 'wrong' in some way, colour placement or irregular shaped petals, sepals and lips.
Worth keeping for a second flowering to see if the plant sorts itself out.
As long as the general condition of the plant is good with no weird leaf markings I reckon you can put your mind at rest.
