Question on first bloom Catts

[silken]

I have a question about first (or 2nd ) time blooming Catts. Or any other type of orchid for that matter. Last year I had a seedling produce a first bloom. I wasn't thrilled with the colouring and hoped it would improve 2nd time around. So now it is blooming again with multiple spikes and I am even less impressed with the blooms than the first time. It is a mini Catt bought directly from SVO. Being a seedling, I realize it is not a clone of an award winning plant or anything and I suppose there can be duds that just aren't that great.

So I am wondering, do I have a dud or can it still improve with time? How many blooms and how mature does it have to be before its true potential will show?

I've bloomed lots of other Catts and am usually fairly pleased. I just don't want to toss this one if I am judging it too soon. How many bloom sequences before I can assume, this is what I get from this one?

Anyone have experience where it took more than 2 blooms to see a decent bloom???

I should add, I also tested it for ORSV and CMV virus and it was negative.
