Cattleya mossiae coerulea forma

[Duck Slipper]

13 blooms this year, last year I believe it was 6. Lesliee commented it was a coerulea forma last year also.

Thanks for posting this, in the last two years every coerulea mossiae I have seen has been disappointing. I was beginning to doubt the existence of a quality clone. Yours is quite nice, form, fulness and color distribution is important. Two weeks ago I saw one for $200, it was disappointing and I advised a fellow grower against it's purchase advising there must be better out there.

David, I agree about the quality of coerulea mossiaes. It would be interesting to know the pedigree of this plant.

I purchased this from Sam in spring of 2019.
The tag reads; C.mossiae v. coerulea x sib ('SVO' x 'Good Lip')

Thanks for the tag info. C. mossiae v. coerulea x sib ('SVO' x 'Good Lip'), Fred Clarke SVO will be here in August in Toronto. I will ask him about mossiae plants and divisions. He can bring them still potted, no bare rooting necessary.
