I am very interested in Lc. Dimity (L. rupestris x C. bowringiana) as a parent, this plant is 12” tall, it is a very compact grower with straight narrow bulbs and a pair of small leaves, a handsome plant. The 7-9 flowers are carried on stiff, upright inflorescences in a lovely light lavender color with a nice contrasting lip; they are reminiscent of a super charged L. rupestris. The (Lc. Tokyo Magic x Slc. Dream Cloud) ‘Heart of Gold' is also a beautiful flower with light lavender petals with yellow centers, thus ‘Heart of Gold’. These will have the charm of the rupicolous Laelia in a new color combination. Compact growing plants 3” pots .

Excellescombe x L. briegeri) produce nice stems of well formed, light lavender flowers with darker purple flares and yellow in the lip. I expect Hsinying Excell to be a great breeder like Blc. Love Sound and Lc. Tokyo Magic. These should produce full formed flowers in white to light lavenders with some flared dark lavender. These will also have nice, upright inflorescences carrying 5-7 flowers. Compact growing. 3” pots .

(Epc. Kyoguchi ‘Happy Field’ x L. Seagulls Tangerine 'SVO' HCC/AOS) Picture of first to bloom.

Here is a new direction in Epi-cat breeding. Kygochi (C. aurantiaca x Enc. aromaticum) has 40-50, fragrant, lemon yellow flowers produced on multiple, branched inflorescences.

(Blc. Izumi Charm 'SVO’ AM/AOS x Slc. Sierra Gem 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

Izumi Charm (Blc. Love Sound x Lc. Melody Fair) is a large, lovely, light yellow flower of excellent shape that displays well. As you can see by the frequency I am using Blc. Izumi Charm I believe it has potential as a parent. Sierra Gem (Slc. Hazel Boyd x Sl. Pole-Star) carries, 3-5 very flat, chrome yellow flowers with burnt-orange venation. With this cross we are looking to develop a larger version of Slc. Sierra Gem, bright colored flowers with flat & full shape. Compact plants. 3” pots.

(Pot. Pure Love 'Del Mar' x Slc. Sierra Gem 'SVO' HCC/AOS) Picture of first to bloom.

These will be superior, flat & full flowers in brilliant sunset shades. Pure Love (Slc. Seagulls Apricot x Blc.

Circle of Life) is a compact Cattleya with great color and shape. The Blc. Izumi Charm will influence flower size and reinforce the yellow base color, the Pot. Martha Clarke will lend its red and orange color and full shape, so…..3-5 large well shaped yellow to orange flowers, with varying red overlay on the petals, on good upright inflorescences. Limited 3” pots .

(Lc. Hsinying Excell var. ‘SVO' x Lc. Mem. Alberto Wenzel 'SVO')

This Hsinying Excell (Lc. Excellescombe x L. briegeri) is a variant of ‘DG’, it produces the same nice stems of 5-7 well formed flowers but the color is a darker purple throughout with darker purple flares and yellow in the lip. Mem. Alberto Wenzel (L. alaorii x C. schroderae) has well shaped flowers that are light powder pink and produced from a small compact plant. The C. schroderae genes will allow for well formed flowers, the L. alaorii will keep the plant size down and the Hsinying Excell will give its good stem, shape and color. Nice compact plants 3” pots .

(Lc. Hsinying Excell 'DG' HCC/AOS x Lc. Culminant 'La Tuilerie' AM/AOS)

Hsinying Excell (Lc. Excellescombe x L. briegeri) produces nice stems of 5-7 well formed, light lavender flowers with darker purple flares and yellow in the lip. I expect Hsinying Excell to be an excellent parent. Lc. Culminant ‘La Tuilerie’ is the parent of the well known Slc. Circle of Life. The genetic make up of Lc. Culminant includes a significant amount of C. trianaei genes; these are dominant for wide petal width. This is a promising cross, there will be 4-7, large flowers approaching 4” supported on a strong inflorescence. Color will be a dark pink-lavender with some flowers flared darker. These will be stout plants, 8-10” tall, to bloom in a 4” pot, with a self supporting inflorescence, carrying 4-7 large brightly colored flowers. 3” pot .

(Blc. Izumi Charm 'Janurary' x Slc. Circle of Life 'Trail Blazer' AM/AOS)

This is also similar to SVO 1554. Izumi Charm (Blc. Love Sound x Lc. Melody Fair) is a large, lovely light yellow flower of excellent shape that displays well; I believe it has potential as a parent. Circle of Life (Lc. Culminant x Soph. coccinea) is a great breeding plant; it is dominant for flower size and shape and also plant size. The Blc. Izumi Charm will improve size of the flowers and the Slc. Circle of Life will add shape and color. These will look like large Pot. Martha Clarke. 3” pots.

This is an interesting hybrid, Sunny Delight (C. aurantiaca x B. perrinii) by David Sanders (B. digbyana x B. cucullata); there is a lot of Brassavola influence here. Bc. Sunny Delight’s plant habit and flowers look similar to a B. perrinii but with bright yellow flowers. David Sanders looks like a huge B. cucullata with flat starry shape and a frilly lip. These are going to be nice, flowers will look like a large, bright yellow, B. cucullata with 3-4 per stem on pencil like Brassavola pseudobulbs. This is a compact grower, very nice. 3” pots.

Slc. Circle of Life (Lc. Culminant 'La Tuilerie' AM/AOS x Soph. coccinea 'SVO')

This is a re-make of the successful Slc. Circle of Life grex. We used the same clone of Lc. Culminant and a select, tetraploid Soph. coccinea. Here is a rare chance to acquire seedlings. 3” pots.

(Epi. xanthinum 'Resplendent' CHM/AOS x Epi. Hokulea 'Super Red' AM/AOS) Picture of first blooming.

Resplendent’ CHM/AOS is a dwarf form of Epi. xanthinum, this plant is only 12” tall; it flowers with dense clusters of yellow blooms and is reluctant to keiki and produce aerial roots. The Hokulea forms large clusters of intense bright red flowers and is blooming year round, it is a standard that grows to 3’ tall and with spikes 5’ tall. Breeding for short growing Epi’s has been difficult. Here we believe the xanthinum genes for dwarfism will prevail. These are spiking in 3”pots. 3” pots .

Pot. Martha Clarke (Pot. Martha Clarke 'Amazing' x Pot. Martha Clarke ‘Hawaii Trip' )

Here is a second sibling cross of Pot. Martha Clarke. The original grex sold out quickly and has received 4 AOS awards. Martha Clarke is (Blc. Love Sound x Slc. Circle of Life). Both parents are well known and give excellent results. These two siblings have been selected for excellent color, stem and plant habit. Sib mating will reinforce the good qualities and bring out additional variations in flower color. Compact growing, Recommended 3” pots .

Epc. Atrowalker (C. walkeriana v. semi-alba ‘Carmela’ x E. cordigera v. semi-alba ‘Hinomaru’)

This grex was originally made with both alba parents. I registered it after receiving 2 AOS awards for the unusual pure white Epicattleya flowers that resulted, here is a picture of the alba form 111. These flasks were purchased in Japan. The parents of this re-make are semi-alba flowers where the flowers are white with red lips. This is a compact growing plant that looks like the Encyclia with improved flower form. I expect some to be semi-alba. Limited 3” pots .
