2 x Cattleya amethystoglossa
Over the past couple of weeks, we have bloomed two Cattleya amethystoglossas.
The first belongs to my cotenant, Kyle. He purchased his plant as a standard 2N, but to his surprise it turned out to be a variety aureum. This variety opens with flowers having a pale creamy yellow background, and they mature into a rich bold yellow color.
The second is mine. It is a 4N, which is blooming for the 3rd time this year with 2 spikes, carrying 8 & 12 flowers respectively.
