🌸 Flower Specialty

• Award-Winning Status: Holds a prestigious Bronze Medal (BM) from the Japan Orchid Growers Association (JOGA).

• Splash-Petal Pattern: Features stable peloric traits, where the side petals naturally mimic the colors and patterns of the central lip.

• Dynamic, Temperature-Shifting Colors: Displays a vibrant mix of magenta, fuchsia, and bright yellow splashes over a lighter base; warmer weather brings out fuchsia and white tones, while cooler temperatures deepen the blooms toward red.

• Sheathless Blooming: Lacks a protective sheath typical of most Cattleyas, with buds emerging directly from the top of mature canes to bloom up to twice a year (typically winter and summer).

• Delightful Fragrance: Highly celebrated for its sweet, captivating scent once the flowers open fully.

🌿 Essential Care Guide

• Parentage Legacy: Inherits a compact form and easy-growing nature from its parentage (Cattleya Psyche × Cattleya Mishima Star).

• Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight (e.g., an east or shaded south window). Target light olive-green leaves—dark green signals insufficient light, while yellow or red tinting indicates overexposure.

• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions, ideally kept between 18°C and 34°C.

• Humidity & Airflow: Maintain 50% to 70% humidity alongside continuous, gentle air circulation (such as a small fan) to prevent crown rot.
