(C. Pinata Surprise 'Pink Elephant' x C. Motte Spot 'Pink Phantom' AM/AOS)
Summer blooming pink flower with amethysts spots! How nice is that? Piñata Surprise (Caudabec x Orchidom Brabant) has excellent shape, color and spots. It also carries 5-7 flowers on a strong stem from a plant just 10” tall. The second parent in this cross is Motte Spot (C. Cognac × C. Fort Motte) 'Pink Phantom' is a clonal mutation. It was spotted in a population of clones flowering at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate. We are predicting 10-12” tall plants, 5-6 pink flowers with dark amethyst spotting in the heat of summer!

(C. Magenta Madness 'Blushing Bride' x C. Odette's Flare 'Spots')
I can't believe I don't have any photos of the parents of this cross…. You'll just have to believe me. It's a great hybrid. Magenta Madness (C. Lulu × C. Shelley Spots) are boldly spotted flowers. Odette's Flare (C. Gene May × C. Shelley Spots) is equally spotted with one ancestor being the flared flowers of C. intermedia v. aquinii. Plants will be just 10” tall, presenting strong sems of 5-7 flowers, densely spotted in burgundy, with red lips. Summer bloomer.

(C. Leoloddiglossa 'SVO Speckled Blue' FCC/AOS x C. Blue Summer 'Blue Summer Spots')
We know from our years of breeding experience that this type of line breeding will bring out spots in the progeny. Leoloddiglossa 'SVO Speckled Blue' has excellent shape and coerulea color. It carries 20 or more well-presented flowers. The FCC/AOS award speaks to the quality of this parent. The Leoloddiglossa is comprised of three Cattleya species: leopoldii, loddigesii, and amethystoglossa The addition C. Blue Summer (Leoloddiglossa x Pittiae) adds another dose loddigesii and schilleriana. This makes for a total of four bifoliate coerulea Cattleya species in this cross. We are expecting dark coerulea flowers, spotted in blue with dark blue lips. The tall plants will produce 10-12, large, well-arranged flowers on sturdy inflorescences. Plus, we treated the protocorms of this hybrid with Oryzalin (t) help to induce higher ploidy. This is the most advanced blue spotted yet produced. We can hardly wait to see the flowers!

(C. Penny Kuroda 'Spots' AM/AOS x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'Solar Spots' HCC/AOS)
This new breeding direction combines spotted and flared Catts! Penny Kuroda 'Spots' is one of the first important cattleya hybrids with flared petals, and spotted sepals. It was cloned and widely distributed. We have had our plant for probably 25 years! It's a tall grower with heads of 12-14 flowers. Very impressive. Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Slc. Jungle Gem) was the first grex to have 3-4, large, shapely yellow flowers with bold red spots on a compact plant that flowers twice a year! The big question here is, how dominant will the Penny Kuroda flaring be? We are hoping for well-rounded yellow flowers with bold spotting, and red lips. Looking forward to many plants having flowers with red flares on the petals and heads of 5-7 blooms! All lofty goals. We believe in this cross. We liked this so much we made the same cross twice with a different Katherine Clarkson SVO 11637

Slc. What'll It Be (C. Penny Kuroda 'Spots' AM/AOS x Slc. Jungle Gem 'Very Nice')
Years ago, I saw these flowering at a nursery in San Diego. Check out the PHOTO. I was impressed as it was one of the first of its type seen, yellow with spots and flared petals. I wondered how good could this cross be? This time we used 'Very Nice'. It has bright yellow color and clean red spots. We crossed it on to the spotted and flared Penny Kuroda. So What Will It Be? I expect strong robust plants standing ten inches tall with good stems of 5-7 yellow flowers, flared red, and spotted red…very cool.

(C. Penny Kuroda 'Spots' AM/AOS x C. Jerry Spencer 'Ruben's')
We have a renewed interest in the breeding potential of Penny Kuroda 'Spots'. It's been in our stud collection for probably 25 years! Penny Kuroda 'Spots' is one of the first important cattleya hybrids with flared petals, and spotted sepals. It's a tall grower with impressive heads of 12-14 flowers. Slc. Jerry Spencer (C. Green Emerald x Slc. Katherine Clarkson) has “rock hard” flowers. They feel like they are carved from wax! With this crossing we are expecting the following outcome: plants 10-12” tall, 10-12 well held flowers, full petals with spots and flares, red lips and hard waxy substance...sounds pretty good!

(Bc. Little Mermaid 'Janet' AM/AOS x C. Lulu 'Hot Pink' AM/AOS)
Little Mermaid (C. walkeriana x Bc. Maikai) is influenced by 3 species in its breeding. It gets its shape from B. nodosa, flower count from C. bowringiana and color from C. walkeriana. Lulu (C. Brabantiae x Penny Kuroda) 'Hot Pink' has flowers that will complement the color of Little Mermaid and the spotting. I bet about half of the progeny will come out spotted. Plants will be 10-12” tall, expect 7-10 flowers from sturdy stems. These flowers and plants will have a unique look and be a nice addition to your collection.

(C. Black Jack 'Universal' HCC/AOS x C. Measuresiana 'Frank to Fred')
C. Black Jack (Thospol Spot x Love Chance) has about 50% of its genetic makeup coming from C. aclandiae, 25% loddigesii and the rest a mix of 3 other species. The parents of C. Measuresiana are (aclandiae x walkeriana), that makes this parent also about 50% aclandiae. Notice how the dark spotting is coalescing on the sepals and petals of Black Jack? Will this coalescing of spots continue with the offspring of this cross? It sure looks like it might, as the aclandiae which is responsible for this coalescing trait is prominent on both of the parents in this cross. Cutting edge breeding.

Slc. Terry's Spots
(Slc. Mem. Evelyn Paquette 'SVO Hot Spots' x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'Diamond Orchids' HCC/AOS)
The flowers of Mem. Evelyn Paquette (Slc. Armonía de Sueños x C. Mark Jones) have some of the nicest red lips of any yellow-with-red-spots grex. Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Slc. Jungle Gem) was the first grex with really nice, large yellow flowers, and red spots on a compact plant that flowers twice a year. Here we are expecting well-rounded flower form, broad, flat red lips, and of course, yellow flowers with red spots. These will be excellent! Yes, we made it twice! With the cross SVO 11634 we used the cultivar 'SVO' HCC/AOS. It's a rare opportunity to evaluate how different cultivars act on the outcome in the same grex.

(Blc. Sun Spots 'Sunspots' x Slc. Jerry Spencer 'Ruben's')
Yellow flowers with red spots, 20 years ago this was impossible. Today SVO is offering the top breeding in this color class. Blc. Sun Spots (C. Mark Jones x Blc. SunCoast Sunspots) has impressive heads of 5-8 large flowers. Slc. Jerry Spencer (C. Green Emerald x Slc. Katherine Clarkson) has waxy hard flowers and a broad lip. This next generation is going to deliver large flowers, in yellow with red spots and broad red lips. They are going to be good!

(C. Interglossa 'Leny' AM/AOS x C. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS)
Interglossa 'Leny' (C. intermedia f. aquinii x C. amethystoglossa) has big heads of 9-13, flared flowers with a few fine spots on the dorsal and sepals. The flowers of Mark Jones (Caudebec x Fascelis) have wide rounded petals, surprisingly wide for spotted Catt breeding. The strategy behind this cross is to create large flowers that have spotted dorsal and sepals and flared petals. Expect plants to be 12-14” tall, with 7-9 flowers, 4” across, held high on strong inflorescences. These have all the potential to be great.

(C. Pinata Surprise 'Pink Elephants' x Lc. Summerland Girl 'Orchidglade' AM/AOS)
I bet these will be hot pink flowers with fuchsia spots and bold red lips…wanna bet? The quality of the flowers of C. Pinata Surprise (C. Caudebec x C. Orchidom Brabant) is readily noticeable. The pink color and fuchsia spots certainly catch your attention. Summerland Girl (C. leopoldii x Lc. Grandee) is a very special plant. One of its parents, Lc. Grandee (Lc. Mrs. Medo x C. Aeneas), is a prominent plant in the history of Cattleya breeding from the 1950s and 60s. Grandee is made up of three species: C. dowiana 75%, L. tenebrosa 12.5%, and C. bicolor 12.5%. Summerland Girl stands 2' tall. It blooms with an astonishing 27 large, waxy, bright red flowers with contrasting purple-red lips. Everyone should be excited about this cross. You should expect large heads of amazing colors from 16” tall plants. Inside tip: these are going to be good.

SVO 11244
(Lc. Plum Lulu 'Hot Lips' AM/AOS x C. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS)
The flower color of Plum Lulu (Lc. Lulu x C. Maui Plum) is outstanding. The strong upright inflorescence displays 9-11 flowers measuring 5” across! The flowers of Mark Jones (Caudebec x Fascelis) have wide rounded petals, surprisingly wide for spotted Catt breeding. We have seen how Mark Jones imparts wide petals to its progeny. With this hybrid we are looking forward to the development of burgundy spotted flowers in shades of red, with bright fuchsia lips, broad petals, and strong stems holding 9 or more flowers above the foliage.

(Slc. Jungle Hotspot 'SVO' x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS)
This is the next generation on small compact plants with yellow flowers and red spots. The parents of Jungle Hotspot are (Slc. Jungle Gem x C. Penny Kuroda) and Katherine Clarkson are (C. Mark Jones x Jungle Gem). Note that Jungle Gem is a grandparent of each parent, in this hybrid. This doubling up will keep plant size down to less than 8” tall, promising yellow flowers with red posts and red lips.

Slc. Terry's Spots
(Slc. Mem. Evelyn Paquette 'SVO Hot Spots'x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS)
The flowers of Mem. Evelyn Paquette (Slc. Armonía de Sueños x C. Mark Jones) have some of the nicest red lips of any yellow-with-red-spots grex. Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Jungle Gem) has many dominant breeding qualities, like good flower size and form, strong yellow color with dark red spotting, compact plants 10” tall, and twice a year flowering. That is why it has been used a lot in this breeding cycle. Here we are expecting well-rounded flower form, broad, flat red lips, and, of course, yellow flowers with red spots. These will be excellent! Yes, we made it twice, and with cross SVO 11225 we used the cultivar 'Diamond Orchids'. It's a rare opportunity to evaluate how different cultivars act on the outcome in the same grex.
