Cattleya Summer Spots

Cattleya Summer Spots is Summer Stars x aclandiae. It is a small plant (a bit bigger than a miniature) and I grow it int/warm under bright light. Potted in CHC and perlite.

Usually plants with brown colors, or dark as in black, or muddy colors, or colors that make the flower resemble dead flesh are stinky flowers. The colors help to convince flies that they are heading for a good egg deposition site, but are in fact being duped into pollinating a flower.
