Cattleya - Special Selected Seedlings

This page includes all selected varieties and color forms of Cattleya species, Brazilian or exotic.

 

Cattleya aclandiae x sib select

The objective here is to produce dark and good-shaped flowers like the one shows here. Plants are excellent growers.

2" - 25.00


 

Cattleya chocoensis semialba x sib select

Out cross of two excellent chocoensis semi-albas. Color should be white on the segments and the lip with magenta markings on the frontlobe. Color should be very similar to the one pictured here.

3" - 35.00

 

Cattleya granulosa x sib select

An outcross to produce more good granulosas, like this one. Flowers will likely vary from greenish to dark brown tones, as these are the parent's colors.

4" - 30.00

 

Cattleya guttata coerulea ('Cambury' x 'Elédio')

An outcross of two excellent coeruleas. They should produce 100% coeruleas, the only variation being on the intensity of color and pattern of markings. This is a first blooming seedling of a previous same outcross.

4" - 85.00


 

Cattleya guttata coerulea ('Keko' x 'Elédio')

An outcross of two excellent coeruleas. They should produce 100% coeruleas, the only variation being on the intensity of color and pattern of markings. This is a first blooming seedling from the same outcross. Large seedlings.

Cattleya jenmanii coerulea x sib

Very nice color form of this favorite Venezuelan species. Flowers are an intense coerulean color end especially the lip is very dark. Flowers are similiar to those of Cattleya labiata.

3" - 25.00


 

Cattleya intermedia aquinii coerulea x sib select

Two excellent aquinii coeruleas sibbed here. Flowers should be all very flat considering the parents and markings very dark and clear like the first one to bloom pictured here. Extremely easy to grow like all intermedias.

3" - 25.00

 

Cattleya intermedia aquinii vinicolor ('Formosa' x 'Condor')

Very nice and unique color form of the species. Crossing two excellent , flat and colorful ones to produce more of these. The resulting plants should look like the one pictured here.

3" - 30.00

 

Cattleya intermedia aquinii coerulea '#3' x coerulea 'Celeste'

The idea behind this outcross is to produce both aquiinii coeruleas and regular coeruleas. Using 'Celeste', which is one of the best coeruleas, we expect to produce flowers with excellent lips which is something sometimes lacking in intermedias.

4" (NFS) - 30.00


 

Cattleya intermedia coerulea x sib

This kind of cross always confirm the color, so we expect 100% coeruleas here. Shape is probably typical for the species, but as both parents had intense color, seedlings should have very showy flowers.

2" - 20.00


 

Cattleya leopoldii alba x sib

In this case, we have a sibling between two plants from the same origin, a selfing of 'Fields'. This is proven to produce more albas. Flowers green with white lips. Photo of 'F2 Fields' used.

2" - 35.00


 

Cattleya lueddemaniana coerulea 'Mariauxi' x sib

Flowers from coeruleas forms of the species have usually very high quality, with wide petals and this is imparted by 'Mariauxi'. Using it aims at producing more plants with this high quality as this seedling from a previous batch shows.

3" - 25.00


 

Cattleya maxima semialba striata x self

A selfing of a very nice maxima, with white segments veined with purple and a colored lip. The expectations are that color is repeated as is mostly the case with this type of seedling batch.

2" - 25.00


 

Cattleya nobilior coerulea ('#1' x '#2')

Second generation sib. Color is light grayish-blue, and so far seedlings have apple green leaves like the parents so color should repeat. Update: first one to flower pictured here.

2" - 30.00


 

Cattleya percivaliana ('Karen Graf' x 'Aniel')

Two excellent percivalianas outcrossed. 'Karen Graf' has excellent shape but smallish flowers, whereas ''Aniel' has them large and dark but still shapely. We are expecting excellent shapes and dark colors.

3" - 35.00


 

Cattleya percivaliana ('Karen Graf' x 'Summit')

Two of the best percivalianas around outcrossed to produce more high quality plants ('Summit' shown here). Flower shape is excellent in both so expectations are extremely high.

2" - 25.00


 

Cattleya percivaliana alba x sib select

This is a seedling batch between two sister plants with good shape and nice white flowers. These should have very intense yellow markings in the lip throat, typical of the species.

3" - 25.00


 

Cattleya schoffieldiana x sib select

Two heavilly spotted schoffiedianas outcrossed here. Plants get tall and produce clusters of large green flowers with spade-shaped lips.

2" - 20.00


 

Cattleya warneri alba x sib

Two sister plants crossed to produce more of this rarely seen color form of the species. Result should be all white flowers with some yellow in the throat.

2" - 25.00


 

Cattleya warneri ('Elvira' x 'Mem. R. Kautsky')

Another outcross between two very well-regarded plants of the species, in this case a coerulea and an amoena (light pink with slightly darker light pink lip). As is common in this type of cross, plants are pure light green which makes for expectation of very lightly colored flowers.

3" - 35.00


 

Cattleya warscewiczii semi-alba 'Bedford' x self

'Bedford', besides being an easy grower, has exceptional color and shape for the species. Selfed to continue the production of well-shaped and nicely colored semi-alba warscewicziis.

2" - 25.00


 

Cattleya warscewiczii semi-alba ('Bedford' x 'Orlata')

'Another seedling batch from 'Bedford' (pictured here), this time with another plant already produced from a selfing of it. besides being an easy grower, 'Bedford' has exceptional color and shape for the species. Objective is yet again to produce more excellent semi-albas.
