Cattleya intermedia
 

This is a seedling showing its face for the first time. It is a sib cross between a variety punctata and another with wide petals. The idea behind this cross was to get plants with wide petals and spotted. Well... my plant got spots but... in the back:lol: !!!

That's way cool, Mauro! :love:

I bet it looked like it was going to be full of spots, before the bud opened. I would say, "how disappointing", but there is nothing disappointing about that flower! Very nice, Mauro!:clap: :clap:

another stunner marco. truely beautiful.
good job

Yep! When the buds were developing and the spots became visible I already knew what was going to happen. The same thing had happened with a variety caerulea that flowered for the first time for me years ago. By the way, it was in flower last week. Take a look at them below. Though the spots are in the backside they can almost be seen through the sepals.

That's awesome! The spotting looks like it's on a Den Aussie Chip! :coverlaugh:

Fantastic, Mauro:king:.

That's a beauty!

I just love cute little chids with freckles on their behinds.

Nice flower but too bad about the spots. Maybe you should place it in front of a mirror so when you look at it the spots would be visable?:lol:
