Trianaei season

[dodidoki]

Two types, s/a and moorenea

Nice Mooreana.

The petals are holding straight up, a nice feature. Usually they flop backwards as they are heavy.

Is it because it just opened?

Just a little naming question. I know that Cattleya trianae 'Mooreana' was a specific cultivar awarded an AM by AOS in 1987. I think the term mooreana then sort of morphed into a descriptor and when you are both using it you are not implying that dodidoki's plant is from that original plant? I have a cross of trianae 'Cashen's' x self that has a heavy flamea pattern with a background color that is darker lavender than what dodidoki is showing. I haven't thought that calling this a mooreana type was as accurate as using the descriptor flamea?

Yes, you have right, using this name would be correct only if it is mericlone or division of the original plant.Right name would be flamea but this colour form spreaded with this name over the world, and I bought this one with this tag, too.

Beautiful! Mine is at least three years from flowering. Something to look forward to,

Yes now it looks like the real Mooreana, like mine. I have an original piece. I'll find the pics to post.

Mooreana is only used to designate the original plant, whereas flamea is used to describe flowers with big flares from any other breeding.

So Istvan, this is not an original piece or mericlone of the said plant?

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Oh I found my ‘Mooreana’ AM/AOS original division pic:

 

[dodidoki]

Thank for pic Leslie, yours is very nice, far more better quality than mine.Mine is said to be, originated from Elsner Orchids.

 

[monocotman]

Dodioki,
mine is also from Regina Elsner. I’m guessing that both ours not the original!
David

 

[dodidoki]

Leslie, where fid you get yours from?

 

[terryros]

This my flamea, which is a plant from a selfing of 'Cashen's'. Not many from the cross were flamea. Cashen's has a little fit at the lateral petals but not as extensive as this one, so the genes rearrange a bit to augment the flamea.

 

[monocotman]

Stunning!
David

 

[dodidoki]

Wonderful!

 

[cnycharles]

All of them very nice
