Gallery | | Two fine forms have been selected as parents. Fan-shaped growths lacking pseudobulbs produce single-flowered inflorescences from the leaf axils. Blooms are a very unusual and beautiful shade of dark pink. Contrasting bright yellow band across lip. This member of the Bollea/Pescatorea family is really great because its flowers display well (unlike some others in the family) Water year round. | |

This is the “attractive color variation… that is a pale yellow throughout with light red spots.” (Siegerist, 2001), as opposed to our previous different one “Bulb. breviscapum”. | |

| | "Flor de Mayo". Endemic to Eastern Venezuela between 8 and 10 degrees North Latitude. "Few, if any, orchid admirers, sitting comfortably in their homes, have any idea of the extremes reached by the massive destruction of these plants during the collecting process, specially in Venezuela, in the collecting of Cattleyas. The valleys are stripped of their primitive vegetation, since it is on the giants of the forest and particularly on the highest branches of some of them where some species of Cattleyas dwell, specially the many forms of Cattleya gaskelliana. In order to obtain the best plants, these trees are felled and from the harvest, only the best plants are taken..." (the writings of the great Carlo Aulisi in 'Monograph of the Venezuelan Cattleyas') This select variety has big showy flowers with white sepals and petals and a beautiful lip with areas of white, yellow and lavender. 'Mosca' refers to a small dark purple touch of color in the center. | |

Brazil.
| | |
| |
| | Cattleya labiata var. autumnalis. Strong stems, beautiful presentation. Typical two-tone lavender color. Epiphyte in the tops of large trees (sometimes lithophytic in the higher elevations.) The history of this orchid is very rich; An English naturalist named William Swainson traveled extensively through the Amazon Basin in 1818 collecting shells, insects, minerals and plants. He departed Brazil taking his collections to England in wooden boxes. Among the material delivered to Professor Hooker, Director of the Kew Botanic Gardens, were some tiny plants growing on pieces of lichen-covered tree branches. Dr. Lindley suspected that they were orchids and tried to grow them. In 1821 the first flowers opened in the Kew greenhouses, causing a sensation because of their vivid color and large size. From these flowers, Lindley created the new genus Cattleya, and the new species labiata, referring to the large lip. The plants were exhibited by the Linnaean Society and were considered by hobbyists to be the most beautiful orchid known up until then. (‘Cattleya labiata autumnalis’ by L.C. Menezes, 2002) Limited | |

Venezuela..
| | |
| |
| | Very showy Venezuelan endemic is called ‘Flor de Mayo’. Found in
lowlands from sea level up to 2100 ft in areas of low precipitation. Reichenbach first mentions the species in Xenia Orchidaceae in 1854. The plant flowered in the famous collection of Mr. Pescatore of Paris. Reichenbach recognized it as a new species and dedicated it to Pescatore’s gardener Mr. Lueddemann, one of the best gardeners of France. (Monograph of the Venezuelan Cattleyas, Aulisi 1989) The ‘Jim Elmore’ cultivar is a large, open-flowered example of the variety C. lueddemanniana var. lueddemanniana. It has wide petals and full round lip. The color is medium lavender with dark lavender on front of lip and dark lavender veins in throat.

Bloom time - spring to summer. Plants from this same batch have bloomed out with the beautiful correct color. Intermediate. | |

| TOF2235 | | Cattleya Rembrandt x self.
| | |
| |
| | (elongata x labiata) Old favorite from the turn of the century - this is an effort to keep the classics from totally disappearing. Tall bifoliate canes produce heads of pink flowers with lavender velvet lips. | |

| TOF2258 | | Cattleya trianae 'Pink' x Laelia kennedyi.
| | |
| |
| | A new avenue for lavender-pink Lc.’s. Some nice flowers began to bloom last fall – beautiful in a classic way. Light pink, with dark pink and pale yellow areas in lip. I was thrilled to have a nice blooming sample for my sales area at Orchidland at the Maui County Fair. Growing nicely – easy. | | | | 4.00" pot | $10.00 | | | 5.00" pot / B. S. | $12.00 |

| TOF2418 | | Cattleya trianae var. amesiana.
Colombia..
| | |
| |
| | Beautiful variety of Colombia’s national flower. Large white labiate-type flowers have a gorgeous lip which is soft pink with yellow orange in the center. The
trianae lip is furled over at the top and then opens widely below the tube. I found it interesting that as of 1978 there still existed a farm near Bogota called “Tierra Grata” which grew over one million trianae divisions for cut-flowers! The plants were established on every tree as well as in huge beds in the ground. (Check-out the very interesting article in the AOS Bulletin July 1978) | |

| TOF2596 | | Cattleya warneri var. coerulescens.
Brazil..
| | |
| |
| | Be forewarned – this flower is NOT blue. However it IS an extraordinary flower of quality form and presentation. A beautiful soft-pink all over – sort of like a “concolor” variety. A beautiful and magnificent species that thrives in the semi-montane regions at an altitude between 400 and 800 meters above sea level. The mountains of Espirito Santo, although they are severely deforested, still are the main stronghold. | |

| TD243 | | Cirrhopetalum sp. `Jeff's Favorite'.
Paluan Island, Philippines..
| | |
| |
| | This is my favorite Cirrhopetalum in our pretty big collection. We got it as "Bulbophyllum leytense" in 1997. Beautiful whorls of delicate narrow flowers with wonderful intense clear yellow color. But also, the way in which a specimen orients it's many umbels is very eye-catching. | |

| TOF2153 | | Coelia sp. 'Chiapas'.
Mexico.
| | |

| TD66 | | Coelogyne ovalis.
India and Sikkim.
| | |
| |
| | Robust short plants have several good-size orangey flowers with a distinctive purple-black hirsute lip. Interesting background in Indian medicine - an herbal cure (jivati) is used for rheumatic diseases. Perhaps more interestingly, the plant is esteemed as an aphrodisiac. | |
