Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Hsinying Pink Doll 'Hsinying' BM/JOGA x Slc. Angel's Fantasy 'Solar Flare' FCC/AOS)
Pot. Hsinying Pink Doll (Bc. Little Mermaid x Pot. Li Jiuan Dancer) has a remarkable deep lavender flower with a broad purple lip on a plant with the Brassavola influence evident in the plant habit. The lip is in a nearly vertical plane with the petals and sepals, a floral characteristic that can produce surprisingly flat flowers when crossed with flared Cattleyas. Pot. Angel's Fantasy (Slc. Fire Fantasy x Sc. Bright Angel) is just spectacular, and the FCC/AOS awarded to 'Solar Flare' says a lot about flower quality. It is also a good grower and flowers twice a year. This exceptional plant has repeatedly proven itself to be an excellent parent. It's not often that we cross lavender flowers with yellow and red flowers, and the results here should be very interesting. I bet we'll see a lot of soft pink flared flowers, but I would not be surprised by a range of colors. These should have 4" flowers on sturdy stems from compact plants.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Sylvia Wagner 'SVO' x Pot. Paradise Red 'SVO')
Sylvia Wagner (Slc. Circle of Life x Pot. Elaine Taylor) has flowers of heavy substance in a true red color with superb shape. Its parents are truly world class. The recently registered Pot.  Paradise Red (Paradise Rose x Rubescence) comes from an equally impressive breeding line: Pot. Paradise Rose is (Slc. Pink Doll x Blc. Toshie Aoki), and Pot. Rubescence is (Blc. Oconee x Slc. Seagulls Apricot). The genealogy of this new hybrid reads like a who's who list of compact solid red breeding.  What else needs to be said? Buy three plants!

The cross Circle of Nine brings together three excellent breeding lines: Slc. Circle of Life, Pot. Rubescence and Sl. Orpetii all are noteworthy parents. The addition of Pot. Little Toshie (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) adds to the exceptional heritage. We are going to see very shapely flowers with red lips. Flower color will range from red to rose red, and plants will be small, blooming in 3" pots. We expect these will flower twice a year.

Pot. Little Circle (Pot. Golden Circle 'OPRL' x Pot. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' AM/AOS)
Golden Circle (Blc. Goldenzelle x Slc. Circle of Life) is one of my most reliable breeding plants. The cultivar name 'OPRL' stands for Orange Petals Red Lip. 'OPRL' imparts good size, shape, color, and twice-a-year flowering. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) is the best cultivar of this delightful grex. It flowers 2-3 times a year with superb, flat, bright yellow flowers and dark red lips, and has proven itself to be a great parent. This cross is exceptional. Plants produce flowers with superior form in colors ranging from yellow to orange. All will have contrasting red lips, and these will bloom twice a year.

Epc. NEW HYBRID (Epc. Kyoguchi 'M. Sauno' 4N Mutation x C. Chocolate Drop 'SVO' AM/AOS)
Kyoguchi (Enc. aromatica x Gur. aurantiaca) blooms with branched inflorescences holding over 60 bright-yellow fragrant flowers with yellow lips striped in red. It's a great breeding plant that produces high-quality offspring. Chocolate Drop (C. leopoldii x C. aurantiaca) has waxy red flowers in heads of 15-16 blooms. It's a great breeding plant with a long history of successful hybrids. Both of these are 4N primary hybrids, and the combination will bring out the best traits of each. Kyoguchi will add high flower count and fragrance, and Chocolate Drop will contribute color and larger flower size. These look to be exceptionally nice.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Slc. Laszlo's Spark 'Mini Flare' x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS)
Laszlo's Spark (Slc. Mem. Trudi Marsh x Pot. Sunrise Fantasy) has excellent shape and bright yellow flares framed by pronounced red veins in the center of each petal. 'Mini Flare' first flowered in the plug tray and now blooms twice a year, first in spring and again in fall. One of my favorite breeding plants is Love Sound, which has proven itself over and over as a valuable parent and is dominant for its yellow flower color, good form, strong stem, and plant habit. Expect yellow and red flower colors, flares in red and yellow, and rounded shape. Many of these will flower early and continue to improve flower count and presentation as the plant matures.

Slc. NEW HYBRID (Slc. Virginia Dickey 'Diamond Orchids' AM/AOS x Slc. Barefoot Mailman 'H and R')
Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) is a darling mini-Catt. It has so many nice qualities: it flowers twice a year, matures in a 3" pot, has sturdy stems, and holds three bright-red flowers with excellent shape. Barefoot Mailman (L. briegeri x Slc. Madge Fordyce) produces 4-5 flowers with excellent shape and color. They are well held on a sturdy stem 8-10" above the foliage. For this hybrid the objective is to produce small plants with good stems holding 3-4 flowers high above the foliage.  Colors will range from orange to red with some exhibiting splashes in darker red. A cool new direction in mini-Catt breeding.

Slc. Shinfong Little Rouge (Lc. Koolau Seagulls 'Volcano Queen' AM/AOS x Slc. Kagaribi Dawn 'Red Star' HCC/AOS)
Koolau Seagulls (C. Wilbur Chang x Lc. Seagulls Milarina) 'Volcano Queen' has a very impressive flower display with 13-15 well-arranged, starry red flowers on a straight upright 2-foot-long stem. You read that right – two feet tall! Kagaribi Dawn has a brilliant eye-catching red flower with a starry shape. Everybody is drawn to this plant when it's in bloom. This cross is all about impressive displays of starry red flowers held well above the foliage. These will be spectacular show plants when mature.

Slc. NEW HYBRID (Lc. Dennis Olivas 'SVO Best' AM/AOS x Slc. Love Fresh 'Peter')
The big clusters of star-shaped flowers produced by Dennis Olivas (Trick or Treat x Penny Kuroda) are spectacular, and the yellow blooms with red flares really command attention. Love Fresh (Sc. Beaufort x L. briegeri) is a very cute mini-Catt with shapely bright yellow flowers and red lips. The compact plants form tight clumps of pseudobulbs with a small footprint. With this hybrid we are breeding down the plant size while keeping the good flower attributes.  We expect that Love Fresh will transmit reduced plant size and compact growth habit, and Dennis Olivas will add good flower count, color and stem strength.  Expect very cute, small-growing plants with showy flowers.

Tokyo Magic (Lc. Irene Finney x L. briegeri) has yellow flowers with a red lip and is a great breeder that's produced many successful hybrids. Tokyo Magic imparts good shape, strong stems, and a compact plant habit. Kyoguchi (Enc. aromatica x Gur. aurantiaca) blooms with branched inflorescences holding over 60 fragrant bright yellow flowers with yellow lips striped in red. Hybrids with Kyoguchi have a distinctive charm. The plants are compact growers with branched inflorescences holding many yellow flowers with red lips. It is very possible that these plants will have a fragrance. We will need to smell a few plants in flower to be sure!

Blc. Smart Lady (Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS x L. anceps 'White Wonder')
Love Sound (Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri) is a proven breeding plant and has made a big contribution to the success of many SVO hybrids. It imparts good flower form, color, plant vigor, and a compact growth habit. L. anceps 'White Wonder' is one of the finest examples of this color form, and its wide, flat petals are almost without compare. With this hybrid we are expecting the yellow color of the Love Sound and the classic shape of the 'White Wonder' to dominate, resulting in arching stems of 4-5 flowers. This is a fun and cool style of breeding.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Kaboom 'SVO' x Pot. What About Love 'Brilliant Gold')
Kaboom (Blc. Guess What x Blc. Schroder's Love) is a great plant with a compact growing habit, strong upright flower stems, and 6-7, large, well-arranged, bright-yellow flowers. This plant of What About Love (Blc. Guess What x Slc. Pure Love) was selected several years back, but not until now have we used it in breeding. Its long-lived flowers are an intense golden-yellow color, and the sturdy stems do a good job holding 5-6 well-arranged blooms above 8" tall plants. The flowers of this cross will be produced on upright stems of 5-6 blooms in bright vibrant orange-yellow, and plants will flower at just 8-10" tall.

Sc. NEW HYBRID (C. Dubiosa 'Scully's' HCC/AOS x Sc. Beaufort 'Harford's Elmwood 4-N' AM/AOS)
Dubiosa (C. trianae x C. loddigesii) is the parent of and responsible for much of the charm of the famous Lc. Puppy Love 'True Beauty'.  The cultivar 'Scully's' produces impressive heads of 7-9 flowers that last and last, up to 6-7 weeks! Beaufort (S. coccinea x C. luteola) is one the most recognizable names in mini-Catt breeding. It has been used successfully in hundreds of hybrids and is dominant for shape and small plant stature. We are excited about this cross! The expectation is for 6-8" tall plants with 4-6 well rounded flowers in light yellow to soft pink, with the unmistakable charm imparted by each parent.

B. David Sander (B. David Sander 'SVO' AM/AOS x B. David Sander 'Just as Nice')
This is a sibling cross between to very nice B. David Sander (B. appendiculata x B. digbyana).  I have more customers ask about this grex, and I know why! It's a beautiful plant, with its pencil thin bulbs and leaves. The striking flowers look like a huge B. appendiculata (formerly known as B. cucullata). Here I have sib crossed my two best plants, both of which are vigorous growers and bloomers. The protocorms were treated with oryzalin (t), increasing the chances that some of these will be tetraploid, which would make for exceptional flower qualities. These won't last long.

Lc. NEW HYBRID (Lc. Tiny Treasure 'Star Amethyst' HCC/AOS x C. harrisoniana 'Volcano Queen' 4n mutation)
Tiny Treasure (C. Porcia x L. lucasiana) is a compact plant with rupicolous Laelia ancestry, and it produces 5-6 pink flowers with eye catching yellow lips twice a year. This harrisoniana is a mutation from a batch of clones, and its flower qualities are superior to the original, including a higher-than-usual count of 7-9 flowers. These will be compact plants with sturdy upright stems of 6-8 well-arranged pink flowers with contrasting yellow lips!

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Martha Clarke 'Amazing' x Pot. Lovely Elaine 'SVO')
Martha Clarke (Blc. Love Sound x Slc. Circle of Life) was such a good grex that I named it after my wife! The cultivar 'Amazing' is one of the best, with excellent shape and color, nice plant habit, and twice-a-year blooming. Lovely Elaine (Pot. Elaine Taylor x Pot. Love Sound) has excellent flower shape and color. The handsome plants are compact growers and produce five flowers on a sturdy stem. When you study the breeding history, you see Love Sound on both sides, and looking even deeper you find the rupicolous L. briegeri on both sides as well.  This ancestry gives an indication of what to expect.  Plants will be compact, and flower color will range from orange to red. The flowers will have nice form with wide petals and will be carried on a strong stem holding 4-5 well-arranged blooms.

All have good stems with 4-5 flowers from the Tokyo Magic parent and good shape with dark lip coloration from Rubescence.  Martha Clarke (Blc. Love Sound x Slc. Circle of Life) is such a good grex that I named it after my wife! 'Amazing' is one of the best, with excellent shape and color. These two parents give this cross outstanding potential. This hybrid is designed to yield richly-colored flowers in mostly red, though some will show sunset shades favoring red. Sturdy stems will carry 4-6 well-shaped blooms just above the foliage. I have been happy with this style of breeding, and these promise to be beautiful!

Tokyo Magic imparts good shape, strong stems, and a compact plant habit. Kyoguchi (Enc. aromatica x Gur. aurantiaca) 'M. Sauno' was a chance 4N found on a vendor's table at an orchid show! It blooms on branched inflorescences with 40 or more bright-yellow flowers that are highly fragrant. This grex will have a high flower count, and we expect 25 or more flowers in shades of yellow with red lips, all having excellent shape. Stems will be sturdy and present the flowers well, and there is a good chance they will be fragrant too.

Tokyo Magic (Lc. Irene Finney x L. briegeri) has white flowers with a bit of yellow on the lateral sepals and a red lip. As a parent, it imparts good shape, strong stems, and a compact plant habit, and is a proven breeding plant that has produced many successful hybrids. Mari's Song (Lc. Irene Finney x C. Cherry Chip) also has a long history as an excellent breeder. It reliably imparts flared flowers, good growth, and reliable blooming habits to its offspring.  We are expecting flared flower color combinations with this grex. The sepals and petals will be white, with petals flared in yellow and purple and a purple lip. This cross will deliver awesome flower colors on sturdy stems of 5-6 blooms.

B. NEW HYBRID (B. Crazyarachno 'Ruben' x B. perrinii 'Ruben')
Brassavola hybrids are starting to come of age. Crazyarachno (B. perrinii x B. appendiculata) blooms with 4-5 spidery flowers. By breeding it back to perrinii, we expect the flower count of the progeny to increase to 10 and possibly more, while still having the same flower shape. That would make this cross awesome!

Blc. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Bouton D'or 'Halcyon' AM/AOS x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS)
Bouton D'or 'Halcyon' (Lc. Wolteriana x Blc. Buttercup) was awarded in 1972. The flowers were described as golden yellow with overtones of apricot. To date, 135 registered hybrids have been made with it, and 32 of the crosses were awarded, establishing Bouton D'Or as an important parent for Cattleya breeding. One of its offspring, Love Sound (Blc. Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri), has been an equally important parent. Here we are breeding these together to reinforce the size and shape of the Bouton d'Or flowers and capitalize on the color and stem habit of Love Sound. These will have 5-6 large, shapely yellow flowers displayed well on upright stems.

Bl. NEW HYBRID (Bl. Richard Muller '4N' x B. perrinii 'Ruben')
Breeding with Richard Mueller (B. nodosa x L. milleri) is well understood. This parent is known to strongly influence flower shape and transmit spotted lips. This cross will be similar to Bl. Yellow Bird (Bl. Richard Mueller x B. nodosa). By using a species (B. perrinii) with similar flower shape and high flower count compared to nodosa, we anticipate a considerable increase in flower count while keeping the shape of Yellow Bird. In effect, these will look like high flowered Yellow Birds.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Spirit Flare 'SVO Flare' x Slc. Crimson Dragon 'Velvet Splash')
We are committed to developing compact Catts with dark purple flowers and darker purple flares. There are only a few out there, and we see an opportunity to contribute to improvements in this area. Pot. Spirit Flare (Slc. Circle Spirit x Lc. José Dias Castro) has shapely flowers that look every bit like large standard Cattleya flowers with wide petals and a full Blc. Lip. But the plant is just 8" tall! Slc. Crimson Dragon (Slc. Lisye Sentiasa x Slc. Durban Rose) has intensely purple flowers with even more intense darker flares. Its 4" flowers are carried on plants just 6" tall. Here we are looking for the fine shape of Circle Spirit and intense color of Crimson Dragon to dominate. Plants will be 6 to 8" tall, and the shapely flowers will be 4" across with colors that will grab your attention!

Carolina Splendor (Pot. Waikiki Splendor x Blc. Oconee) is a standard sized Cattleya plant with large wine-red flowers, fully ruffled dark burgundy lips, and superb shape and form. This hybrid is about large flowers on compact plants. Flower color will be a very vibrant red-purple, with the lips being darker in color, and the flower form should be “off the charts."

C. Dubiosa (C. harrisoniana x C. trianae) has 4-5 nicely shaped, long-lived flowers on good stems. The quality of the solid yellow flowers of Waikiki Gold (Blc. Pink Surprise x C. forbesii), with 5-6 large blooms arranged well on strong stems,  has inspired hundreds of successful hybrids. I must admit the prediction for this is challenging.  Let's start with what I do know: plants will be 12-14" tall, flower in early March, and produce strong stems carrying 5-7 flowers. What's hard to predict is the flower color, which we expect to range from yellow to pink, possibly with flares!

Haadyai Delight (Blc. Angkinantana x Blc. Destiny) is new to our breeding program. It has made a significant contribution to Cattleya breeding in Thailand and seems worth of attention. After studying its offspring, this parent seems dominant for big broad lips and wide petals. Our first cross using Haadyai Delight is with Pot. Little Toshie (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki). The cultivar 'Gold Country' is the best of the grex.  It blooms with 2-3 superb, flat, bright yellow flowers and dark red lips. If our read on this new parent (to us) is correct, this cross has amazing potential!  We are expecting compact plants with large, well-formed yellow flowers and big red lips.

Horizon Flight) is amazing: both parents founded significant breeding lines, with many exceptional crosses to their credit.  The cultivar ‘Pinnacle’ has wide petals, giving the flowers a very full shape, and the color is yellow with dark red flares and a dark red lip.  Truly a beautiful flower!  I believe that Little Toshie ‘Gold Country’ (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) is the best cultivar of this delightful grex.  It flowers 2-3 times a year with superb, flat, bright yellow flowers and dark red lips. These will produce well-shaped, yellow flowers with bright red lips, and, as a bonus, many will have deep red flares.

Lc. Miss Wonderful (Lc. Mari's Song 'CTM 217' HCC/AOS x L. anceps f. petaloid 'Jody')
Miss Wonderful has been a fantastic hybrid!  We’ve made it on 4-5 separate occasions with different parents, and each time the results have been excellent.  These are strong-growing plants and easy to bloom, with large flowers having excellent flares on 12 to 18" long inflorescences. This is a particularly intriguing cross. The use of L. anceps forma petaloid is expected to increase petal width and modify lip shape in ways not seen before. This cross has the potential to produce truly unique Miss Wonderful offspring, and the best of these will be unbelievable! I have tried to make this exact cross twice before with no luck.  Don’t miss this one!

Carolina Splendor (Pot. Waikiki Splendor x Blc. Oconee) has large wine-red flowers, fully ruffled dark burgundy lips, and superb shape and form.   Paradise Rose (Slc. Pink Doll x Blc. Toshie Aoki) has intense purple flower color that results from an interesting phenomenon of color dominance in its ancestors. The flowers of Pink Doll are purple from L. pumila. The color of Blc. Toshie Aoki is bright yellow and dominated by the influence of C. dowiana. The species dowiana is known to intensify purple when crossed to the appropriate parent and did so when crossed to Pink Doll.  Paradise Rose combines these breeding traits and produces intense crimson-red-purple flowers. This is a cross we are really excited to see bloom! Flowers will be 5” and possibly up to 6” across and will be intense red/purple with burgundy-red full shaped lips on compact plants. This is a great combination!

‘Top Sample’ was the first plant to bloom from this grex and earned its name by being the sample plant used to sell unflowered seedings at the Pacific Orchid Exposition in San Francisco a few years ago. It was so impressive that all the seedings sold, and I was left with just the sample plant!  The red flowers are flat with well-rounded petals and a full, darker purple-red Blc.-type lip on a plant in a 3” pot!  Higher Multiplier (Pot. Rubescence x Slc. Pink Doll) is an outstanding example of modern mini-Catt breeding, blooming twice a year with large, flat, round, deep red flowers with full dark burgundy lips. Mature plants flower twice a year and fit nicely in 4” pot.   These will have dark red flowers with wide overlapping petals and have full-shaped darker purple-red lips.

Pot. Forbidden Love (Pot. William Farrell 'Native Son' x Blc. Love Sound 'Fortissimo')
What beautiful plants this cross makes!  The robust bulbs hold upright leaves - very handsome even when not in bloom. The distinguished heritage in the breeding of William Farrell (Slc. Helen Veliz x Bc. Llano) is impressive, and its ancestry is a real who's who of Cattleya breeding in the 1950's and 60's.  'Native Son' has beautiful flowers in a soft peach, and the strong stems hold 5-6 well-arranged flowers above the foliage. Love Sound represents modern Cattleya breeding.  Compact plants produce upright stems holding 7-8 solid yellow flowers with very pleasing shape. This new grex will have strong stems of well-shaped and well-arranged flowers. Best of all is the rarely seen peach color that the flowers should display.

Blc. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Orange Nuggett 'Kadaoka' HCC/AOS x Blc. Guess What 'SVO' AM/AOS)
Orange Nuggett (Blc. Manu Akaka x Bc. Daffodil) has sired many impressive and well-known hybrids, including Iwan. Appleblossom, Blc. Momilani Rainbow, and Fuchs Orange Nuggett. Its flowers are deep orange and have heavy substance. Guess What (Blc. Waikiki Gold x Lc. Trick or Treat) produces clusters of 8-9 vibrant orange flowers. It is one of my favorite March bloomers and has been playing an important role in our breeding program. We expect heads of 5-7 solid orange flowers with improved shape, as Guess What will add segment width, and Orange Nuggett will increase the fullness of the lip. A great orange hybrid.

This cross was first made by SVO in 2000.  It’s amazing to think that was 23 years ago! I still have 3-4 cultivars from those original plants, and they have proven themselves to be reliable growers and bloomers. These qualities were an important motivation to make this cross again.  This pairing also produced what I call a ‘High Average of Quality’, in which every plant that bloomed had good to excellent flower shape, color and growth habit. Truly a winning combination!  Limited Availability.  Pictures from the original cross PICTURE, PICTURE, PICTURE

Kyoguchi (Enc. aromatica x Gur. aurantiaca) ‘M. Sauno’ was a chance 4n, found on a vendor’s table at an orchid show! It blooms on branched inflorescences with many bright-yellow flowers with yellow lips striped in red and is highly fragrant. Beaufort (Soph. coccinea x C. luteola) is the most influential parent in mini and compact Cattleya breeding, with 265 first-generation offspring and more than 1400 progeny!!  It is dominant for flower shape and diminutive plant stature. I admit this is a strange cross, but the geometric mean, which is sometimes used to predict flower count, forecasts that Beaufort with its 2 flowers and Kyoguchi with 60 flowers will produce progeny with up to 11 flowers.  Can you image flowers with the rounded shape of Beaufort on plants with a higher flower count from Kyoguchi?  We expect 8-11 shapely bright-yellow flowers with red-striped lips on stiff upright stems that display the blooms nicely. It’s very possible that these will be fragrant.  Let’s see if I’m right!

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Paradise Rose 'My Valentine' AM/AOS x Pot. Rubescence 'SVO' AM/AOS)
Paradise Rose (Slc. Pink Doll x Blc. Toshie Aoki) has intense purple flower color. This results from the phenomenon of color dominance based on its ancestors. The flowers of Pink Doll are purple, and Toshie Aoki has a bright yellow flower due to the influence of C. dowiana. This species is known to intensify purple when bred with certain parents and did so when crossed to Pink Doll. Paradise Rose combines these breeding traits and produces intense crimson-red-purple flowers. Rubescence (Blc. Oconee x Slc. Seagulls Apricot) ‘SVO’ is a legendary breeding plant. It is dominant for flower shape, color, and plant habit, and it has revolutionized modern mini and compact Cattleya breeding.  We can predict with certainty that this cross will have dark red flowers of excellent rounded shape with burgundy red lips. Plants will flower in 3” pots and be good growers. A really great cross!

Pot. Cosmo-Sound (Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS x Pot. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' AM/AOS)
One of my favorite breeding plants is Love Sound (Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri). It imparts good flower form and color, plant vigor, and compact growth. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) flowers 2-3 times a year with superb, flat, bright-yellow flowers and dark red lips. This remarkable cultivar has proven itself to be a great parent. We are anticipating a very consistent outcome from this cross. The compact plants will carry 4-5 flat yellow flowers, some having petals tipped in red, with excellent shape and red lips. Check out this PICTURE of the first plant to bloom. We also made the reciprocal cross, SVO 9832, which will provide a chance to evaluate the influence of the capsule vs. the pollen parent.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS x Pot. Fantasy Circle 'Flaming Hot')
Love Sound has a well-deserved reputation as an excellent breeder.  It imparts several important qualities to its offspring, including full, round flowers, bright-yellow color, a good stem carrying 4-6 blooms, and an attractive compact growth habit. Fantasy Circle (Pot. Golden Circle x Slc. Angel's Fantasy) has ridiculously well-formed 4” flowers with fantastic red and yellow flaring on the petals!  We know from experience breeding Love Sound to flared Cattleyas that about half of the offspring come out with flares. Flowers will be carried well on sturdy stems.  The best of these will be amazing!

Lc. Fire Gem (Lc. Aussie Sunset 'Cosmic Fire' HCC/AOS x Lc. Trick or Treat 'Orange Magic' AM/AOS)
This is an excellent hybrid! The capsule parent Aussie Sunset (Lc. Fires of Spring x C. Gene May) has a red-orange flower with a yellow splash, and the blooms are held above the foliage in clusters of 4-6. Trick or Treat (L. Icarus x Lc. Chit Chat) produces amazing heads of 15 or more starry orange flowers.  We are hoping with Aussie Sunset as the capsule parent we will see a higher percentage of offspring producing orange flowers with yellow flares.  Plants are good growers and will produce 7-9 flowers per stem. This is an excellent cross - check out these first to bloom PICTURE,  PICTURE

Lc. NEW HYBRID (Lc. Florence Lin 'Wine Drops' AM/AOS, CCM/AOS x Lc. Trick or Treat 'Orange Magic' AM/AOS)
Florence Lin (C. tigrina x L. milleri) has upright straight inflorescences with starry dark red flowers and darker crimson-red lips.  When this cultivar was awarded, it carried 150 flowers on 9 inflorescences, an average of 17 flowers per inflorescence. Amazingly, the plant was growing in a 5” pot!  Trick or Treat (L. Icarus x Lc. Chit Chat) has a long history in breeding here at SVO. It’s a great grower and produces impressive heads of 15 or more starry orange flowers. The offspring will produce high flower counts of 15 or more starry red-orange-colored flowers held well above the foliage. These are vigorous growers and will make excellent specimen plants.

Blc. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Kaboom 'SVO' x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS)
Kaboom (Blc. Guess What x Blc. Schroder's Love) is a great plant with a compact growing habit and strong upright inflorescences carrying 6-7 large, well-arranged, bright-yellow flowers. Love Sound (Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri) imparts several important qualities to its offspring, including good stems that carry 4-6 full, round bright-yellow flowers and an attractive, compact growth habit.  This cross is going to set a new standard for heads of yellow flowers! Strong stems will carry 5-7 well-arranged flowers of excellent form. A very high potential cross.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Verbatim 'SVO Fire Splash' x Pot. Ruby Delight 'Ruby Splash')
Verbatim has impressive parents: Slc. Angel's Fantasy 'Solar Flare' FCC/AOS and Pot. Rubescence 'SVO' AM/AOS. The cultivar “SVO Fire Splash’ has a red flower with red flares and veins and outstanding wide petals. Ruby Delight (Pot. Rubescence x Slc. Cosmic Delite) knocked my socks off when it first bloomed. This mini-Catt plant produced superbly-shaped red flowers with darker red veins - so cool! Red flowers with darker red veins and flares are the goal with this cross. These will also have exceptionally wide, full-shaped petals. Plants will be just 6-7” tall and most likely flower twice a year!

Yam. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Kaboom 'SVO' x Epc. Kyoguchi 'M. Sauno' Mutation)
Kaboom (Blc. Guess What x Blc. Schroder's Love) is a great plant with a compact growing habit and strong upright inflorescences carrying 6-7 large, well-arranged, bright-yellow flowers. Kyoguchi (Enc. aromatica x Gur. aurantiaca) blooms with branched inflorescences holding over 60 bright-yellow fragrant flowers. How do you make Kyoguchi better?  We believe this mating will fill out the flower shape, add flower size, assure sturdy stems with 20 + flowers, and quite possibly be fragrant. Now that would be better!

Pot. Memoria Geri Male (Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS x Pot. Golden Circle 'OPRL')
Love Sound needs little introduction; it is described a number of times in this listing.  Golden Circle (Blc. Goldenzelle x Slc. Circle of Life) has superb form with 3.5” orange flowers and red lips on a 6” tall plant that blooms twice a year.  This cross will produce well-formed flowers, presented nicely on upright stems.  Flowers will be yellow to orange/yellow with a red lip. These will have a compact plant habit and be easy to grow and bloom, making this a highly desirable cross.

Blc. Volcano Prince (Lc. Trick or Treat 'SVO' 4n x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS)
Trick or Treat (L. Icarus x Lc. Chit Chat) produces amazing heads of 15 or more starry orange flowers.  The bright yellow flowers of Love Sound (Blc. Bouton d’Or x L. briegeri) have made it an important part of our hybridizing program for years, and this parent consistently delivers good results.  Expect the offspring to flower in colors from yellow to orange. Robust plants will have 7-12 well-presented flowers on strong stems. The plants are very vigorous and look excellent!
