Cattleya lueddemanniana semi-alba

Update from an old post. Here is the first bloom from a division. Very nice...

A few blooms from summer

Cattleya gaskelliana alba

Cattleya gaskelliana alba

Cattleya tigrina (leopoldii)

C. Callistoglossa

Cattleya purpurata carnea

Small plant blooming in a 3" pot. Nice color, but form not great, which is typical of carnea types.

Cattleya purpurata (striata x tipo)

This is a small seedling in a 3" pot blooming for the first time. From Bela Vista Orchids in Brazil. Nice!

Cattleya purpurata sanguinea

I have been growing this for several years, a selfing of 'Valley Isle' from Exotic Orchids of Maui. It's a strange plant. It has nice roots but little vigor, and this is the first time it has "really" flowered. Even though plant is old and of decent size, the flower quality is iffy. But, the color is amazingly dark and I'll give it a little more time.

Another Cattleya purpurata

Also from Cal-Orchid.

Encyclia hybrid

Epicattleya 'Golden Sunburst'

Lc. Gold Digger X Encyclia rufa

Cattleya lueddemanniana

First-time bloomer (flowers on the way out) - Arthur Chadwick X Jim Elmore.

Cattleya purpurata

First blooming of a Cattleya mossiae semi-alba

Been growing this seedling for two years.

Another Cattleya mossiae

Cattleya mossiae

Cattleya lueddemanniana

This is a first bloom from the cross Arthur Chadwick x Jim Elmore, from Sunset Valley Orchids. The plant is very small (2.5" pot) so it isn't surprising flower quality is low.

Cattleya skinneri

This is the 'Waldor' clone, a recent acquisition from Cal-Orchid.

Cattleya lueddemanniana

This is a cross from Bela Vista Orchids - first time blooming for me. I expect it will improve as it matures.

Cattleya mossiae

This semi-alba is from the Blanca x Aurora cross. It is doing OK, but past experience shows that it can do better, with bigger growths and flowers. Still, pretty nice.

Catcyclia hybrid

This is Encyclia plicaboa x Cattleya bowringiana - so it is 3/4 C. bowringiana and 1/4 E. plicata.  A first bloom seedling from H & R Nurseries.

Cattleya loddigesii

Aranda X self.

Laelia anceps

From Cal-Orchid.
