Cattleya trianae pelorica

[DrLeslieEe]

It has been a long time. but I recall reading an article in the AOS mag many moons ago, that some of the lateral “ribs” and intensified colors in some Catt species not necessarily being peloria at all. I don’t recall the explanation, however

You’re correct Ray.

Peloric by definition is lip mimicking. If that doesn’t occur, darker marks on petals are flamea (or pincelada if small).

Blooming again… late. Still adjusting from the Southern Hemisphere.
