Cattleya mossiae
This is a first bloom seedling that I bought from the Tropical Orchid Farm in Maui. It was billed as a selfling of a clone with a bright yellow lip. It does seem to cary that trait. I'm not sure what form to call it, perhaps a concolor although the color of the sepals and petals is a bit darker than most concolors I have seen.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I have had a seedling for several years and it has really grown lately. doesn't look like a 'seedling' anymore! Maybe the newest growth will bloom for me. I love yours!

Great first bloom! The blooms look pretty large and the color is really nice.
I was thinking concolor as well when I first saw it. Seems like a legit label to me.

Thank you. The plant is 8 inches tall from the top of the pot. I grow it under LED lights (100 W fixture, 12 inches away). The night temps are 60F in winter and winter day temps are ~ 80F. Summer temps about 10F warmer. I fertilize with 125-150 ppm of a urea-free fertilizer weekly year-round. |

Hey
great growing
I thought con-color meant the lip color approximates the same as the petal color, not darker. I could be wrong. I like your plant, and photo.
take care
Rex
