Cattleya loddigesii - flowering for the first time

[Rosim_in_BR]

The nice thing about growing seedlings is seeing their flowers for the first time. This and the one I posted days ago come from different parents.

I love it because it looks so girly like. Gorgeous!

I agree, Mauro, it's great fun to be the first to see a seedling flower. This one is simply gorgeous, but then, what orchid isn't?

"Pink Perfection" This is a beautiful pink. I don't have one to my collection but one of these days I will come across one I want to add. I like to see what I am buying and don't usually buy internet, especially orchids.

Hey, Don, you found the perfect clonal name for this guy: 'Pink Perfection'. For now on, this is Cattleya loddigesii 'Pink Perfection'! Thanks!!

Beautiful, as usual Mauro. What is the quickest you've flowered from flask?

I once flowered Cattleya guatemalensis in four years.
