Default Cattleya Tropical Pointer

Second time blooming this year (previously at the beginning of summer) - but, like last time, just one bloom; this despite three new growths all maturing near the same time

Oh well - at least it's a good looking flower Around 3 1/2" across, making it a good sized bloom on this fairly compact plant. I wasn't able to capture the colors properly - lip and spots are a very vivid magenta!

Growing in chc mix in a 5" plastic pot, in a west facing window that gets sun mid-afternoon.

Thanks for looking

What a pretty, spotted orchid! Hopefully, it will start giving you some more flowers as this one is very nice.
