Sorry, no real pics for a while. I was in bed with the flu while the flower was in its prime.

The goal was to get great shape & pincelada marking on concolor type flowers. It's step one of two step breeding.

I really hate to say it, but I seriously doubt that's inamorii. It looks like it's going to have two, maybe even three flowers, and the shape & staminode look very off from the description. Could we see the whole plant? The good news is, if it is a hybrid, you can send it back to hell...

THERE WILL BE NO HOLE-ING!!!!

There will be no hole-ing of rabbits.

I don't really like Cattleyas very much, but this one, even with flowers showing their age, was just so striking that I simply couldn't resist. Not the best shape or fullness, but the color is awesome, true slate gray, and the veins so dark & distinct. NS 14cm, Petals 7 cm x 9.3cm, dorsal...

Yayyyyy congrats!!!

As a fellow Tony, I understand completely.

Nah. This is nowhere near top quality and DEFINITELY nowhere near the 40cm monsters that Xavier eyes with suspicion. It's just a nice flower, and in chilly PA, this may be as good as it gets. That said, it should be doing more than it is. Just carried trauma...they take years to recover from...

Now he tells me lol
