Cattleya trianae splash

[monocotman]

Ecuagenera always seem to have plenty of these splash petalled trianae plants available. This one was bought as a seedling when they came to Cambridge in spring 2022 and is typical of their material. I love it. It has real presence. The colour and form are lovely. The only issue is that the flower stem is weak. It needs support. Behind the flower is plenty of scaffolding otherwise the flower would nod. Anyway, I can live with that. It’s definitely not mature yet and time for improvement.

Very nice. Ecua really has good quality of trianaeis.

Indeed istavan. I’m surprised by the quality of these flowers since it’s both a seedling and still growing and immature. The natural spread is already 15cm. If it continues to develop like my other splash trianae then it will eventually be stunning.

Are you aware that this person is reposting your pics on Facebook, if it is with permission then fine, but I find it offensive when someone reposts my pics without giving credit.

David, don’t worry, it’s me doing the posting. For various historical reasons I post on Facebook under my partners name.

I’ve not seen your posts, but applaud David B for letting you know. I recently did the same thing and the person whose photos were being used had not given permission and appreciated it. It’s shameful how often it happens and is not the situation you describe.

It’s an unusually lovely splash petal, like you say, it will only get better as a seedling.

I agree. I have had the odd flower photo used on Facebook without permisssion and I always point this out to the user when I see it.

David that is truly lovely and I’m not generally a splash petal fan.

I totally agree…

I agree, it looks more 'natural' as opposed to 'bred for' for whatever reason
