Cattleya trianae var. concolor
The pink hue in this trianae is somewhat different compared with others. Some call it variety concolor rosada in reference to the sweet pink.

Oh, sometimes even I can fall for a particularly nice floof.
Yet another amazing Catt., Muaro. I like the slightly darker purple spot on the lip. Gives it a bit more character.

Sometimes the purple coloration on the lip of some Cattleya species turns into a color very similar to the amethyst stone, Suzie. These varieties are called amethystina.
Some collectors say the amethyst coloration is sort of blue and they most likely are right. Petals and sepals in these amethystinas are normaly white, but sometimes can appear with the same color of the lip, but in a very, very light tint.
