TOF3993 | | Cattleya labiata tipo `Koa Log' x sib. Brazil.
| | |
|
| | (C. labiata 'Koa Log' x sib 'Flame Lip')
Three to five 5" fragrant flowers in these parents - good bright colors. 'Flame Lip' Photo
The "type" species for the genus. "The Crimson Cattleya" or the "Ruby-Lipped Cattleya.
For good reason we want to keep this going. It is easier to grow and maintain than some others, is dependable, showy, and flowers last well. For us, it also was very useful for our Maui County Fair Show, at the end of September and early October. Our labiata's held up well in the harsh conditions of the 6-day setup and Show.
"When William Cattley, a patron of horticulture in Barnet, England, flowered a large lavender orchid in November 1818, he started one of the most intense collecting adventures in horticultural history — an adventure that led to the introduction of a whole group of large-flowered lavender orchids that would dominate the orchid world and the public’s perception of orchids for the next 150 years." (Chadwick Orchids)
"Perhaps their ease of culture can be explained, to some extent, by their natural environment, which is extraordinarily inhospitable much of the year" (L.C. Menezes, Cattleya labiata autumnalis)
We have both of these parent plants growing outdoors mounted on Koa logs. | |

TOF3863 | | Cattleya schilleriana `Botanical Garden' x self ((`Sanderiana')) Brazil.
| | |
|
Gallery | | Beautiful select schilleriana has huge colorful flowers. Short compact bifoliate plants have purplish foliage underneath. It is now believed that several of these select varieties are descended from the famous cultivar 'Yardley' AM/AOS. "The habitat in nature is so limited one questions how it could have come about. It is really only known from about three creeks and their tributaries in Espirito Santo State in the vicinity of Domingo Martins." (Fowlie, 1977) Use a drier treatment for best success. These seedlings are small. | | | | 2.00" net pot Three only | $12.00 |

TD422 | | Chondrorhyncha caloglossa 'Natural World' Costa Rica.
| | |
|
| | Correctly Stenotyla picta. This is really a neat plant - one of my favorites within the fan-shaped leafy species. This flowers a lot and puts on a good show (flowers emerge and can be seen, they are not hiding in the foliage. (Good to hang it up or mount it, if possible - for good display). Moderate-size species - not gigantic like some. In this cultivar, the flowers are all-yellow. | |

Gallery | | Still one of our most popular species. Mossy intermediate forests. Miniature clumping plants produce small sprays of 1/2" interestingly shaped white flowers, which last about three weeks. Old pseudobulbs keep sending out inflorescences for many years. Can flower anytime, with an emphasis on winter. On trees in the forests of the Maboro Range (Waria District). The species grows always in colonies…†(Schlecter 1914) Very cute - a winner. | |
