First bloom C. maxima
My Cattleya maxima finally opened! I didn't think it would start blooming this year but it put out a really nice flower. It is a first time bloomer on quite a small plant. I noticed that there are some really nice striations in the petals, does this make it a var. striata? I have no idea how to name these things. I imagine that it was a seed grown plant and was sold with the name C. maxima. The color is very pale when it opened but is a nice lavender now after a few weeks. Let me know what you think, do the patterns make it more special or desirable or are they more common? This is my first maxima. Thanks.
