I saw this lovely Rhyncholaeliocattleya Majestic Light ‘Hidden Treasure’ at the Tiny Jungle this week. It’s a cross between Rlc. His Light x Rlc. Hawaiian Treasure. I’ll have to ask if I can get some pollen next week.

I got flasks of this new cross I made recently.

Lebaudyara
(Laeliocatathron Silver Snowflake ‘SVO’ x Encyclia selligera)

Snowflake smells like lemon pledge, selligera smell like gardenias.

My friend from the Tiny Jungle, just got this beautiful Cattleya Aurora for me. It’s an older cross (1905) between Cattleya dowiana X Cattleya luteola. I’ll have to see if I can up the flower count with its progeny.

That’s why the grower let me grab the pollen. I have to figure out what to cross with it.

I thought so too, but I was overruled by all of the judges. I thought the depth of the color of a single flower should have been taken into consideration. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This unname Cattleya hybrid has excellent potential.

Cattleya (Lc. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy ‘Fuerte Blue’ x C. intermedia coerulea aquinii ‘Blue Rhapsody’)

It didn’t travel well, but I hope to utilize it in my breeding program.

This Paphiopedilum tonsum f alboviride was screened out by the other CSNJC team last Sunday. I’m not sure why, it was quite nice.

Cattleya Harvest Moon ‘Red Moon’
(Cattleya dormaniana x Cattleya Orange Gem (1929)) was submitted for judging yesterday. The CSNJC ruled it out due to lack of flower count. I was ruled out.
