This trianae is the one that I featured last year as a four year demonstration of bloom changes and improvements. It’s continued to grow with four new pseudobulbs this season, three of which and flowering.
Chadwick writes “But it is the many delicate pastel shades of color that set C. trianaei apart from the other Cattleya species.” I have to agree. The pale pinky lavender is really beautiful.
I dropped the plant earlier in the year when it had two new growths and broke one clean off. Fortunately it broke two new leads from older growths and so now have three leads. It’s very vigorous and loving the new growth room.
Next is Cattleya percivalliana albescens ‘oro blanco’. A plant making steady progress.
