Cattleya Pink Diamond

[Karp60]

I am seeking an opinion about this flower. I think the dorsal and one of the laterals are really not up to standard. The flower has won a popular vote at my orchid club meeting last night and I have been assured that it is not uncommon for standard Cattleyas to curl the dorsal. Your feedback much appreciated.

Big catts can do that, so I suppose its 'not up to standard'. Still nice.

Thanks, hoping for a better shape next season.

Curling dorsal is very common. Just ask Angela!

And take a look at quite a few Catt.s, also otherwise marvelous ones, posted "in these pages"

David, just my pet peeve is so much worse about misshaped dorsals when the dorsal
is on a Catt. Pay no attention to my grumbles.
