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

Cattleya bicolor ssp. brasiliensis x sib select
This is the bicolor subspecies from the interior
of Brazil. Plants are more robust, need more light and prefer dryer falls and winters, comparing with the regular
bicolors. Flowers (4") have lips that are flatter and much wider than those of the regular bicolors. High
quality selected parents.

Cattleya chocoensis (semialba punctata x orlata)
Outcross of a plant like the one pictured with another
with flowers with a full circle of color around the lip. Result should be excellent shapes on flowers with varied
degrees of color encircling the lip.
4" - 35.00
|
 |
|
Cattleya chocoensis semialba 'Pompeu' x sib
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, but with a darker lip.

 |
|
Cattleya chocoensis (semialba x 'D. Zoraide')
A flower with white segments and a hint of color
on the lip was outcrossed with one with a very intensely-colored lip throat. We are expecting flowers with intense
color inside the lip but not much color elsewhere, likely similar to the one pictured bt darker.
3" - 35.00

Cattleya eldorado concolor punctata 'Bela' x self
Flowers of the mother plant are concolor pink, except
for a small darker mark on the lip, exactly like the one shown here. Flowers should very just a little, mostly
repeating the color. As with all eldorados, very fragrant.
4" - 45.00

 |
|
Cattleya eldorado magenta orlata 'Gigante' x sib
A magnificent color form of Cattleya eldorado. Flowers are very dark with a even darker contrasting lip. A sib cross was made to produce
more of these, and the variation will probably be only in the amount and coverage of the dark color on the lips.
Limited.

Cattleya guttata coerulea ('Cambury' x 'Elédio')
An outcross of two excellent coeruleas. They should produce 100% coeruleas, the

previous same outcross.

Cattleya intermedia aquinii 'FM' x outcross
We outcrossed 'FM' (pictured here) with another aquinii that also opens well. The objective is to produce more nicely marked flowers that flatten
better than the typical aquinii.
2" - 20.00
|
 |
|
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.

 |
|
Cattleya leopoldii
'Cetro de Esmeraldas' x self
A gorgeous color form of the species. This is the
repeat of the selfing of the original plant and the result should be plants that produce very similar flowers (as
before). Very limited quantities.

Cattleya loddigesii 4N x outcross
Outcrossing of two exceptional 4N loddigesiis, and
the result expected is flowers like the one pictured here. As one of them is spotted, we are expecting the whole
spectrum from no spots to a lot of them, all with excellent shape and substance

are expected to be 100% white.

Cattleya luteola x sib select
The smallest of the unifoliate cattleyas. It comes
from the Amazon lowlands, so it is a warm grower. In this case, a couple of plants with excellent flowers were
used to produce more high-quality luteolas.
NFS - 20.00

Cattleya trianae amesiana x sib select
Two excellent trianae amesianas were used here to produce
more of these white flowers with light pink lips. Both plants have very good shape and color,and this type of sib
usually is very faithful to the color.

Cattleya walkeriana (flammea 'Dona Terezinha' x s/a
aquinii 'Gloriosa')
In this case, two walkerianas with markings on the
petals were outcrossed, a pink one ('Dona Terezinha', pictured here) and the other a semi-alba. These are not pelorics,
