Cattleya trianae 'Waldemar Silva'

[Rosim_in_BR]

Light rose in the petals and sepals, solid color in the lip allied to a very good shape produce a rare visual harmony in this flower. There is some controversy every time this plant goes to the judging bench on whether it is or is not true Cattleya trianae because "it is too good to be true" some say. So, I say that every time a flower is very good, some people start saying it is not what it is . Not even the great Heitor Gloeden that lived his entire life among orchids and was one of our most respected orchidists felt he could say this flower is not Cattleya trianae on a paper he wrote while still among us - and he knew Cattleyas like nobody else in this country!
