Cattleya coccinea first bloom! (formerly Sopphronitis coccinea)
I have had this Cattleya coccinea for about a year now. I have had it growing in sphag in a tiny clay pot, and it is placed directly under a 40W grow light indoors. I have no idea what the clonal name is for this one, but I acquired through Seagrove Orchids! It looks to be tetraploid, but I'm not sure. I'm sorry, this is my first post and I'm having trouble uploading the photos! I have provided an imgur link below.
Thank you! I'm honestly so proud of this bloom, and it looks like a second bud is forming in another new growth. (I shined a light through to see it lol) I really thought I would never see the blooms as I heard they were difficult. I think I may reach out to Linda from Seagrove Orchids to see if she has any idea what the clonal name of this one was.
