Cattleya trianae 'Cashen's' FCC/AOS

[My Green Pets]

This is a first-bloom mericlone offered by Carter & Holmes a few years back and given to me in 2021 by a grower who had too many plants and not enough time nor space.

Fragrance is mild, floral and some spice. First trianae for me, love the flowers, and even more, the time of year it blooms.

William, you got, or you produced, a bit more flamea than the original awarded ‘Cashen’s’ displayed. I have a selfing of ‘Cashen’s’ that has strong flamea, so it is therein the genes somewhere.

Wow, that is one superb C. trianae! The shape, color and carriage are just great.

Just stunning William. Good trianaes are superb and flowering when they do makes them even more special.
We know that flammea markings can come and go across the years so I wouldn’t worry about the provenance.

That’s a lovely bloom of Cashen’s. You got a great meristem.

This was my very first orchid species given to me about 60 years ago. I no longer have that plant but it was a hugely overgrown one with over 30 flowers. The awarded one has better form but for now this will have to do. 4 flowers this time. Grows like a weed and it’s in a basket so I think I’ll hang it and see how big it gets.

Best,
Harvey

Great flowers. Splash on petals can change on blooming to blooming. Is it Csh x self or original div./meristem?

I agree it grows like a weed. It already needs dividing and it's only on its first bloom.

To my knowledge it is an original meristem.

Do you mean an F1 meristem?

 

[My Green Pets]

I don't know what I mean. I'm guessing that since it came from Carter & Holmes, it's a meristem taken from an original division of the awarded plant, and not a meristem taken from another meristem. A copy of the original, and not a copy of a copy, if you will.
The plant was purchased from C & H in 2017, so perhaps Bridget Uzar would have the backstory on it.
