Cattleya trianae 'Waldemar Silva'
Light rose in the petals and sepals, solid color in the lip allied to a very good shape produce a rare visual harmony in this flower. There is some controversy every time this plant goes to the judging bench on whether it is or is not true Cattleya trianae because "it is too good to be true" some say. So, I say that every time a flower is very good, some people start saying it is not what it is  . Not even the great Heitor Gloeden that lived his entire life among orchids and was one of our most respected orchidists felt he could say this flower is not Cattleya trianae on a paper he wrote while still among us - and he knew Cattleyas like nobody else in this country!

Mauro, that's simply beyond beautiful. So what is the outcome after this plant goes to a show? Is it actually allowed in as trianae, or does it get forced over to the hybrid area for judging? I've heard the same argument you mentioned applied to Euanthe sanderiana. It's hard to tell the difference between some of its hybrids and some of the line-bred species plants.
By the way, would you mind providing some indication of your growing conditions, especially in regards to the light levels that your cattleyas and laelias receive. Do they get direct light during the day, and if so, how many hours?

That's a good question Steve. Once I asked about the erectness of his orchids and he eluded to the light factor. Never did pursue at the time. It would be interesting to know even if we can't immitate the same conditions as we have diff. time zones etc., etc.
