Cattleya warneri albescent ‘Dona Lourdes’

[DrLeslieEe]

A new growth just bursted out 3 flowers eventhough it bloomed 8 months ago. Still adjusting to a new hemisphere I guess lol. It’s so breathtaking still…

I agree! It’s just so surreal that nature created this colour form.

Nice delicate colouur form, reminds me Santa Teresa.

Leslie, these flowers are very, very pretty and look as if they were made of china.

I took more pics today under some natural light. The white lip stands out more here. I’ll try to upload vdo too in next post.

Wow, love those colors

Love the soft pink. Does the throat fade to more of a gold/yellow, or does it stay chartreuse?

The throat stays the chartreuse green, which to me is the trait I like on the white lip.

Delicately beautiful and a nice upright dorsal.

Leslie, I am afraid it is time for a little tutorial on the group of terms used with Cattleyas and other genera to describe lack of pigment (albescent, alba, album) and when var. and fma. etc should and should not be used. I get confused.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Terry, I think it’s a good idea.

Shall we start with what you think those are?

WOW! Love that Cat! Good job on the vid!!
