Cattleya - Special
Selected Seedlings
This page includes all selected varieties and color forms of Cattleya species, Brazilian or exotic.
 |
|
Cattleya amethystoglossa 4N x sib select
Sib between two excellent tetraploid amethystoglossas. Flowers should have very
heavy substance and good shape.
3" - 25.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya chocoensis semi-alba x sib
select
Out cross of two excellent chocoensis semi-albas. Color should be white on the segments and the lip with magenta markings on
the frontlobe. Color should be very similar to the one pictured here.
3" - 35.00

 |
|
Cattleya dowiana rosita x sib
Spectacular color form of the species. This is the
subspecies from Costa Rica, but with lots of markings on petals, similar to the one shown here.
3" - 35.00
|
|
|
Cattleya guttata aurea x self
A very unusual color form of the species, selfed
to produce more plants like it. Sepals and petals have a yellow base color, and the lip is the typical magenta.

 |
|
Cattleya intermedia alba x aquinii
alba
Plants from that cross started to bloom already. From about a dozen plants, 3
were aquinii albas as this one, so we can infer that we will have about 25% aquiniis here. All of them are albas,
anyway.
4" - 35.00
|
|
|
Cattleya intermedia coerulea x sib
This kind of cross always confirm the color, so we expect 100% coeruleas here.
Shape is probably typical for the species, but as both parents had intense color, seedlings should have very showy
flowers.
3" - 25.00

 |
|
Cattleya intermedia orlata ('#1-94' x '#3-94')
Excellent expectation on orlatas. Plants are very good growers, compact and should
bloom in 4" pots. First blooming seedling pictured here.

Cattleya labiata
amesiana
'Foleyana'
Despite being a plant found in nature decades ago,
this is still one of the nicest labiatas ever. The colors are very delicate and plants are easy growers. Large
(6"+) flowers.
2" - 25.00

 |
|
Cattleya labiata coerulea ('Junior' x 'Lourival')
Two of the best shaped coeruleas outcrossed, 'Lourival' pictured here. 'Junior'
has a dark full colored lip and an excellent round shape. Compact plants.

|
Cattleya leopoldii alba
('Dr. Edu Silveira' x 'F2 Fields')
Here we have a cross of a second generation
'Fields' plant with another with a completely different origin. We expect to have more variation on albas than
on the strict sib of 'Fields' progeny.
Flowers green with white lips. Photo of 'F2 Fields' here.

|
|
Cattleya leopoldii
alba 'F2 Fields' x sib
In this case, we have a sibling between
two plants from the same origin, a selfing of 'Fields'. This is proven to produce more albas. Flowers green with white lips. Photo of 'F2 Fields' used.
3" - 35.00

|
|
Cattleya loddigesii 'Aranda' AM/AOS x self
An excellent awarded loddigesii, selfed. Flowers should have very good form and substance, with the regular nice pink
loddigesii color.
3" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya loddigesii coerulea x sib select
This is a sib between two daughters of 'Blue Sky', so this is an elusive one.
Nobody can't guarantee the flowers are going to be blue, but without trying, no results.
2" - 20.00
|
|
|
Cattleya maxima semi-alba x self
A selfing of a very nice white with colored lip
maxima. The expectations are that color is repeated as is mostly the case with this type of seedling.
2" - 20.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya mossiae alba ('Julia' x 'CG')
Two very nice mossiae albas crossed to produce more
plants of this color form. Flowers are completely white with just some yellow in the lip throat. Plants are a repeat
of a previous seedling batch that produced the flower shown here.
2" - 20.00
|
|
|
Cattleya mossiae semi-alba x sib select
Two excellent semi-albas were used here to produce
more high quality plants of this color form. A few that flowered already had lips with stripes instead of solid.
4" (NFS) - 35.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya nobilior coerulea ('#1' x '#2')
Second generation sib. Color is light grayish-blue, and so far seedlings have
apple green leaves like the parents so color should repeat. Update: first one to flower pictured here.
3" - 50.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya percivaliana ('Karen Graf' x 'Summit')
Two of the best percivalianas around outcrossed
to produce more high quality plants ('Summit' shown here). Flower shape is excellent in both so expectations are
extremely high.
2" - 25.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya percivaliana alba x sib
This is a seedling batch between two sister plants
with good shape and nice white flowers. These should have very intense yellow markings in the lip throat, typical
of the species.
2" - 20.00
|
|
|
Cattleya schilleriana 'Werner' x self
A very nice schilleriana
selfed to produce more high quality plants of the species
2" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya trianae amesiana x sib select
Two excellent trianae amesianas were used here to produce
more of these white flowers with light pink lips. Both plants have very good shape and color,and this type of sib
usually is very faithful to the color.
3" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya trianae ('The Premier' x 'Rolf')
Two excellent regular-colored trianaes were used here with the objective of producing
more of these trianaes with round and full segments. Very high expectations.
3" - 45.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya violacea x sib select
Another robust bifoliate, C. violacea is the most widespread species in the genus. It can be found all over the Amazon Basin,
so plants are warm growers and like high humidity, fairly high light. Flowers are up to more than 5" across.
Expectations are high on this seedling batch.
3" - 25.00

|
|
Cattleya walkeriana ('Jandir' x 'D. Nega')
Two fairly light-colored and very good-shaped parents were used here, and the
objective is to produce more nice walkerianas. The use of two native parents will guarantee that no hybrids are
produced.
2" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya walkeriana coerulea ('Rosita' x 'Severiano')
This is an outcross between two coeruleas. Although we cannot be sure if the
flowers are going to be coeruleas (as these are new, unproved parents), the only way to test them is to try something
like this.
2" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya warneri ('Ricardo Bells' x 'Rio Casca')
An outcross between two favorites of Brazilian growers, one an albescens form and another a light coerulea. Although this type of cross is usually
speculative, experience tells that very light-colored flowers are consistently produced.
3" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya warneri ('Elvira' x 'Mem. R. Kautsky')
Another outcross between two very well-regarded plants of the species, in this
case a coerulea and an amoena (light pink with slightly darker light
pink lip). As is common in this type of cross, plants are pure light green which makes for expectation of very
lightly colored flowers.
3" - 25.00
|
|
|
Cattleya warscewiczii tipo ('Farina' x 'BH')
This seedling batch was made for shape. both parents have excellent form and
color, so we expect flowers of high-quality.
2" - 20.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya warscewiczii semi-alba ('Bedford' x 'Orlata')
Another seedling batch from 'Bedford' (pictured here), this time with another
plant already produced from a selfing of it. besides being an easy grower, 'Bedford' has exceptional color and
shape for the species. Objective is yet again to produce more excellent semi-albas.
