NOID cattleya in bloom - Orchid Board

Here is my first catt and very rewarding hybrid.

Blooms every year. From February is in S/H and is doing very well.

I am waiting for the other bud to open.

It looks like C. intermedia, but probably is just a hybrid.

Really like that.

Thank you all!

I forgot: it has a central extra petal, covering the column...

Ahah! I was going to ask about that. Is it just an anomaly this time, or has it happened before?

It hasn't happened before like this. I had one flower with 2 lips 2 years ago. Always shows a little mutation...

That's really cool. Really interesting mutations, I managed to miss that extra petal when I looked the first time.

Thanks, Nico. My kind of plant, full of surprises.

New photos with the second bud in flower. A little bit different. The orlata variation more defined. I don't know if it is a true orlata, but this year it has more pink.
