Cattleya mossiae semi-alba 'H & R'

This is C. mossiae 'H & R', a mericlone, which was the second of the three plants in the earlier post.  Right after the first flower opened I cut the spike off the plant and plopped it into a glass of water (it hurt me more than it hurt the plant), as the plant was clearly being very stressed by the flower.  It only has one large growth, and that growth was severely shriveled.  I probably should not have let the plant produce  these flowers, but I think it will recover quickly.
