I have now seen 3 more plants from this cross bloom.
#2 & #3 were smaller flowers, so not of use for breeding. #4 though, is large and likely a 4N (as is #1), and quite different in color. If you look closely, you will see some stippling, so it should be useful in my quest for large Cattleya flowers with significant spots.
