You’re right Hilmar.

Yes that includes my anitum !!

Proud Mama! That petal issue on first was so small it was overwhelmed by the other 5 flowers’ dramatic look.

Congrats! I heard from the judges there!

My plants can range from 20 cm to 50 cm tip to tip.

Maybe flowers are smaller on stunted growths, though not always. Depends how stress they are?!

A true vietnamense… congrats on it finally opening without blasting!

It’s getting stronger … good!

Love it! Lots of growths… maybe next year a Medusa!

One day!!

Medium to low light produces longer leaves. High light stunts the plants in my experience. Fingers crossed for that bud!

The sandie hybrid is a looker.

Interesting… can we see the staminode and whole plant?

Hey Jim Try cool nights around 15C for a few weeks.

That’s a looker worth a show medal!!

The bud developed stealthily behind some leaves and opened before I knew what it was. A soft pink with 3-4 colors in throat. Bud was a confusing yellow! Not a bad shape for quad as they usually opened very cupped. Thus the silver medal acknowledgement. I hear it usually is better than this...

That’s what I was afraid of.

Maybe Geoff is still on here?

I’m finally back to this thread too. And now more experienced with visits to Cattleya habitats. What updates do we have?

A flower is either flamea or venosa (based on the most dominant and obvious trait), not both unfortunately. In the case of Hilo Grand, the flamea dominates.
