I wish I could give you a definitive answer but I can't. Who did the testing on the plant and for how many types of virus were tested.

If this is the second time it has bloomed with the color break I would toss it or retested if it is special to you.

It's hard to tell without a picture. Color break can sometimes be a random mutation. Temperature can affect a flowering. Genetics (certain art shades cattleyas are prone to some crippling every now and then). If the color break is a combination of streaks of lack of pigmentation along with broken streaks or blotches of dark pigmentation, then it could be TMV or Odont Ringspot virus. A good idea would be to test the plant again.

Hi Brooke, Toyo. It went to Cripple Creek. There is another bud that should open in a week or so. I'll get a picture then. This plant's blooms morph from pink to white in just a few days, so the camera may not pick up the anomalies in the color. This other bud is also affected, it's visible on the outside of the bud.

This plant has a great fragrance. Since i wanted it out of the GH, i brought it into the house to enjoy it. I'm going to hate having to toss it!

Thx for your input. I'll bump this post back up when the other bud opens.
