Cattleya trianae alba 'BK × Cattleya trianae alba 'Grezaffi’

[PeteM]

This seedling was purchased from Carter and Holmes in the fall of 2017, and this is its first bloom. Not the biggest fan of the form and I plan to move it out of the collection. Before I do, I wanted a record of the blooms since I put the 5 years in This is the first trianae I have ever bloomed.

Lovely. I’d give it another go before moving it on. It may surprise you.

First trianae ever? Oh boy, you will have quite an adventure collecting them ,) with all the various cultivars and breeding lines.

Bit late for trianae, if you had said it was a mossiae I totally would have believed you. Beautiful regardless!

Flowers are gorgeous and the plant is really healthy!

Really nice flowers and a well grown plant .... so why move it out ?

Wow~ it has taken such a long time to bloom for the first time!!
But two spikes and I think I see two more sheaths on other growths??
By the way, I'm curious what lights you are using and if your Cattleyas are grown under this set up year round, or are they supplemental light to natural light?

Petals are not full enough for me, too many windows and seems to have the bat shape.. I don’t mind it so much but compared to other blooms.. would rather give the limited table space to a superior form and hand this off to an another grower or who appreciates it more.

Yes, long time. 3 leads and could probably split into 3 plants. All led lights now I need to update my post…

I’ve added a spider farmer led and another led. But this plant was specifically grown under the two 1800 Watt X6 Cob Led Grow Light Full Spectrum Led Plant Light.. an early generation Amazon purchase.. active (with cooling fans) led system.

Pretty plant! Let me know if you'd like to part ways with it, I would be happy to get a family reunion going!

Pete, it has wonderful, wonderful colours - and rather bat shape than bad shape!

Very nice, intense color lip. Its wonky style reminds me the shape of Sangre de Torro.
