Cattleya amethystoglossa

[dodidoki]

I m a little disappointed, awz plant, grown from seedling size, first time blooming.It is regular form, shape is not the best.It was expensive, sold as lisa, spotless form, selected selfcross.

Well done for flowering it! As as we all know, first flowerings can be very misleading.

Crossed fingers for the second one then.

Istvan, how high is it from the bottom of the pot to the top of your leaves? I have resisted getting this species because of its typical height.

very intense 'lips'.

I had a pollyploid amythstoglossa and I guess these won't tolerate temps below 40 degrees F. this January we lost power for six days in a snow & ice storm and the house went down to 36 degrees F surprisingly I only lost a few plants and some vary young seedlings.

Yayy to growing from seedling to bloom.

Unfortunately this is not the Lisa spotless form. The genotype are not dominant 100% even when two phenotypic Lisa's are cross together.
