Cattleya trianae concolor ‘Poseidon’s Orion’

[DrLeslieEe]

This plant likes to bloom out of season sometimes. This time 3 months earlier than the trianae season! NS 14 cm.

A beautifully colored pink (of various shades) flower with a nice shape.

Like a Georgia O’Keefe painting.

Very nice Lesley. Trianae has some lovely subtle colours.

Can you photograph in 'white' light, please?

Leslie, until you have prepared your publication ”Terms to Describe Cattleya Coloration”, what is your operating definition of “concolor”?

Concolor is defined as both lip and tepals are same colors (usually pink tones) with no red lines in throat.

I’ll try… plant is stuck in growing areas lol.

I rather like that perky dorsal and the colors are so soft and appealing.

Blooming again one year later, but still two months before trianae season. At least this year is one month closer (was 3 months earlier last year). NS 13.5 cm.

I just adore the colors of this one.

Seems to be richer colours this time. Lovely!

Leslie, if you only had the flower, could you tell it apart from C. schroedera?

Yes two things:

1. schroederae form is less full and lip ratio is skinnier

2. the fragrance of schroederae is unmistakable, stronger and sweeter

Here’s one we awarded today at Cali show:

The mango color in the labellum is darker in the schroederae. I would struggle with the lip ratio difference.

Yes the yellow egg yolk is also significantly different. Thanks for reminding that point,
