Spotted Cattleyas

Spotted flowers have been a favorite of mine for years. Seeing those wonderful spots in the heat of summer is a spectacular sight. Today the development of spotted breeding include flowers that bloom in colors ranging from cream, yellow, pink, orange, green, and bronze. They can be speckled, spotted and blotched. The use of C. Mark Jones has improved petal width and size. While the hybrids with Lc. Jungle Elf, Slc. Jungle Gem and Blc. SunCoast Sun Spots will add their yellow color to the flowers.

An amazing variety of color, spotting and patterns are possible. These new hybrids are bred to carry the flowers well, on strong stems, and have compact plant sizes to be bloomed in 4”-5” pots.

Lc. Lucky Charms ‘SVO’ x C. Mark Jones ‘SVO’ HCC/AOS

We like to use Mark Jones for spotted Catts!  It imparts nice full shape with heavy spotting.  Here we have paired it to the spotted Lucky Charms with its large flowers and heavy substance.  These will bloom in shades of yellow with burgundy spots and dark red-purple lip.  If you like spots this is a good one.
