Cattleya lueddemaniana pentaflamea

Popped up and surprised me! Love the flares. Only one flower this time but huge at 16 cm NS.

Beautiful and unusual pattern, is it CyMV color break or natural?

It’s actually flamea patterns on the tepals. Tested virus free few years ago.

Leslie, even if it's a single flower.....it's marvellous and it shows the potential of this clone.

Dear Leslie.It is a very nice lueddemanniana, but I think it is out of flamea type. ( as i can see on my phone display).If i have wrong, can you explain me what flamea is ...I think, pigments usually can be found on petals more intensively at the end and on the axis. Where is the border between normal with a little bit more pigment at the endings and on the axial part and flameas, flares or pinceladas?

Flamea is defined as a darker pigmentation of anthocyanins on the distal portion of the sepals or petals, where lines and shading of darker red/magenta is noticeable. This is occurring in these flowers as seen in second picture.

And, as Leslie wrote a while ago:
mosca - a fly speck of color at the end of petals/sepals
pincelada - mini brush strokes of color at the ends
flamea - large area of color covering up to half of the distal petal
