Cattleya labiata semi-alba #5212 outcross ('Cooksoniae' x ‘Candina')(approximately 25 seedlings per flask). I do not have an image of 'Candina' but it is also a semi-alba. The Species: It grows in Venezuela and Brazil at elevations between 2000 and 3000 feet. A well grown plant can have 6 to 9 flowers with an average blooming carrying 3 to 5 flowers. The flowers of this species are 5 to 7" across and are long-lasting and wonderfully fragrant. Culture: This is considered a warm growing species, but has done very well in my greenhouse with a 56 F minimum night and 80 to 85° daytime. It hangs up high in the greenhouse so it gets quite bright light. It is allowed to dry between waterings. I grow it in medium bark in a plastic pot. I used to grow all of my cattleyas in baskets, but found the roots were so entangled that it was difficult to repot or divide the plants when the time came. Capsule parent: Cattleya labiata semi-alba 'Cooksoniae'. This image is used with the kind permission of Mauro Rosim. Pollen parent: The pollen parent is Cattleya labiata semi-alba ‘Candina’. I do not have an image of this flower. Both parents are semi-alba. |
