Looks lovely. Spotted Catts always seem a much more substantial, thicker, textured flower than a non spotted one.
Is this true? Also if it so, is this a usual feature?

Great colour combination - love the ivory background. You haven’t identified it so can we assume it’s a noid.

Yes, it's a noid. The colors change as the flowers age. The spots burst and by the end of their life the flower gets totally pink.

Well, I'd like to see a picture of that at a couple of different stages! And it's nice you've given it its own shower area.  |

Wowza! Hard to believe that's the same bloom! That's serious changes. Most amazing...

I think the heavy substance is just because of the parentage. For instance, a lot of the spotted Catts have C. aclandiae in their background, and that species has waxy flowers. The characteristic gets passed on to hybrids. |
