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 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.
