Cattleya gaskelliana concolor ‘Jose Perreira’

[DrLeslieEe]

Supposedly a concolor but clearly not due to that triangular magenta patch in the midlobe, making it a tipo. Flowered it 2-3 times and the same occurrence. Wonder if mislabeled?

Flowers are huge in terms of floral parts but not NS. Petals are 9-10 cm and dorsal almost 11 cm.

Nice and normal stance for the species lovers out there . Also I think was a wild collected plant many moons ago.

Mildly fragrant.

Lovely floppy petals, Leslie. I am partial to droopy lavenders, especially the Venezuelan spices. where did this come from?

I got this division from a grower and AOS judge Linden Burzell. Not sure if he’s still around as I have not heard from him for a while.

It’s a pretty thing Leslie, but clearly not a concolor. I’m just about to post a concolor lueddemanniana. First bloom for me. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts.
