It’s been awhile, many spikes on the way, figured I’d share these. Fdk. Frank Smith ‘SVO’ FCC/AOS x Ctsm John C. Burchett ‘Ursa Major’ FCC/AOS. These flowers have over a 3” natural spread! A future winner for sure. The plant itself is huge. Mormodes revoluta, a second cultivar from...

Haven’t posted in a while. Not much blooming lately. Here’s a nice one (Catamodes Dragon’s Tail x Ctsm. Orchidglade)

Two clones of Ctsm. Dagny, always the first to bloom for the year. Top clone has 5 spikes forming, 20 flowers on 2 spikes blooming. Bottom clone is carrying 34 flowers on 2 spikes, the best it’s done yet :D And it opened two days too late for judging :( Ah well. Maybe next time. Both clones...

For those with the book of the face... In situ none the less https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10159894780835383&id=806555382&set=gm.10155968654049840&source=48

SVO 6878 Morm. New Hybrid (Morm. Midnight Hooker 'Hot Lips' x Morm. Mark Mills 'Hot Lips') First blooming, 9 flowers in a 3” pot. The outcome of this cross has certainly surprised me, not a single dark red flower out of the 6 or so I’ve seen posted! Ah well. This is nice. The flowers open...

Blooming on 5 spikes with 2 more on the way. This one has a problem with bud blast, but apart from that I’m loving it!

Fdk. Julio David Rios (Mo. Leopard Drops x Ctsm. Donna Wise) So this is a classic case of me judging this plant in my head before it bloomed. In my head it was an FCC CCE plant. Then it bloomed. First time blooming plant. ~125 buds and flowers on 8 spikes, only problem is 4 spikes are...

SVO 6543 (Morm. Exotic Treat x Morm. Nitty Gritty). First bloom with lots of potential. I love the lip. The scent is great and powerful, citrus, spice, and floral.

First blooming, large flowers (11 cm), tall plant

Here’s another mislabeled mormodes, beautiful flower though. I didn’t get very good pics before I pollinated it, now the flowers are staring to fade. Maybe next time. Smells strongly of lemon Pledge. Enjoy

I’ve posted this one before. It’s put out two spikes so far this year with a 3rd on the way. Ns is sitting still at 11 cm. First pic is from 2nd spike. The other two are spike 1. Both spikes got damaged by falls :mad: I need to come up with a better system. Ah well. Enjoy

This is a first bloomer I got from SVO a couple years ago. At the time it was the most advanced Fdk breeding, (Fdk. After Midnight 'SVO Dark Beauty' FCC/AOS x Ctsm. John C Burchett 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS). That would make it F3. Now I think there are a few more F3 crosses. Anyways... On it's first...

I am hoping someone with Orchid Plus or Orchid Wiz (and spare time) could look up something for me. I was wondering about cultural awards for Fredclarkearas, how many flowers and spikes on average for a CCM or CCE? Any response would be greatly appreciated

I put a few things on eBay, have a look if you’d like. This is my first try, criticisms are welcome Mobile https://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?isRefine=true&sid=avantgarden&isRefine=true&_pgn=1&_mwBanner=1 PC...

Yes, it's 'SVO Blood Red'. I bought a tiny piece from Stephen Moffitt two years back. Honestly I didn't know if it would survive. It didn't do much the first year. It rebounded nicely this year, until one night in July we had a terrible storm with 75mph sustained winds. Beat up all my plants...

Don't really know what to call it. I purchased it as a Fdk, then it bloomed female. I asked Fred, he said the whole cross got mixed up. He's pretty sure it's Ctsm. Extravaganza, which would explain the lip shape and small plant size. This is its 2nd spike this year with #3 not far from blooming...

So I think this is the first time in the history of catasetinae intergenic breeding that an intergenic flower has shown signs of sexual dimorphism. Up until now all intergenic hybrids have had perfect (pollen and stamina) floral segments. Even some Fredclarkearas are more than 90% catasetum...

I got this from Eric (thanks man!) as an extra from the auction, labeled habeneria rhodocheila, which it's not. Whatever it is, I'm loving it! Hard to capture such a small flower accurately. I've never seen cerulea tones in a habeneria.

(Karen Armstrong x Louise Clarke) So... I bought this as a different cross, but there was a mix up. I'm not a huge fan of mini-ctsms. But, I have to admit, they have been growing on me. If I had to pick a mini cross to get, it would have been this one anyways. Oh, and of course, female...
