Cattleya trianae H&R polyploid cultivar first bloom

[thefish1337]

I've been adding these random nameless tetraploid/polyploids from H&R whenever I order (maybe 2-3 times over the past 4 years) and I've been consistently impressed. The tag which is buried in the pot just says Cattleya trianae (colchicine treated). It's likely a 4n but you can get all sorts of polyploids from colchicine treatments- however most likely its a 4N.

Good round shape, very large petals and sepals with the tiniest petal flares and rich color in the labellum. I'm realizing now that it's not even open fully so I'll post a picture if it spreads out.

Great one! Love it!

Roy Tokunaga is a genius!

Very nice. H&R has never disappointed me in anything I've purchased from them over the years either. Looking forward to seeing the blooms when they've fully expanded.

Cool! Looking forward to additional photos, I would like to request a head-on photo if possible. Congrats on blooming it!
