I have had this plant for several years as a seedling. The tag says Lc. Lucky Charms 'SVO' x Lc. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS. So I was very excited to have my first very spotted Cattleya blooms developing. This should have produced a yellow or maybe pink bloom with lots of burgundy spots.
But this is what I got instead
It has grown on me and I do like it once I could get used to what I got instead of what I expected. The fragrance is quite nice too and blooms about 4 inches wide.
Has anyone seen anything like it? I would really like to know its name. I have e-mailed Clouds (where it came from) and am hoping they can help. But I figured if there are any possible ideas I could suggest to them, it might make it easier. I don't like to just guess at the name and want Clouds to confirm any possibilities I might come up with.
It doesn't seem quite as shiny in person as the pictures show, even tho I didn't use a flash to photograph it.
