    Default Cattleya maxima

    Properly C. maxima v alba 'Kathleen' AM/AOS x C.maxima (pink) 4N. At least that's what the label says. This is a 1st bloom seedling and I really don't like the way the petals are rolled out like that but maybe it will be better next time.

    Interesting colour change on a more mature flower.
