Cattleya warneri var semi-concolor 'Cotton Candy'
 

This just opened with a 14 cm flower of soft pink tepals with a white faced lip that is lined with some magenta striations. I suppose it qualifies as a purpurea striata variety as well. Fragrance is mild and sweet. I named her 'Cotton Candy' because the pink colour reminds me of my childhood addiction 😋. Only one flower and first bloom too. Hopefully as it grows older, it can hold 3 to 5 flowers on a mature plant.

Like all warneris, the plant is short and stout, with broad leaves. It also prefers warm nights in winter, around 16C.

More pics with lights on... the bright cotton candy pink shows better.

I love the color on this one!

Me too! Concolors are one of my favourite varieties of Cattleyas.
