Cattleya intermedia var...?

[Greenorchid]

Hi guys
This is my Cattleya intermedia in bloom... I'll be very grateful, if someone could recognize which variety it is...maybe punctata? (not punctatissima)






Hope you enjoy
Claudia

Rosim will know, be patient and he'll chime in.

Hi Claudia! Nice intermedia you have there! It is the typical flower of the species, not a variety.

Thank you Mauro
I was in doubt 'cause of the little spots

Claudia, it is almost punctata, but there is too few and also small spots. To be considered punctata the spots should be larger and perfectly visible. Please, follow this link, there go down the page until you find a picture of C. intermedia punctata 'Lindissima', then I think you will have a better idea of the variety: Orquidario Carlos Gomes: Outubro 2007

Many, many thanks, Mauro, now all is clear
So, about spots on my intermedia, do i have to consider them like defects, in your opinion?

Not at all, Claudia! These small spots are relatively common in many clones of intermedia !
If I can be of any further help, just let me know!

Thanks again Mauro, you're really kind

Maybe i'll need some advice on how to bloom a walkeriana...

Bye bye
Claudia
