    Cattleya mossiae pentaflamea ‘Cerro Verde’ AM/AOS

    It made an AM/AOS of 81 points from today’s Toronto judging… and just barely too!! The flowers just started to show ageing today after keeping well for 4 weeks. The other two flowers collapsed 3 days ago, so had to work only with the two. Luckily it held on in cooler nights.

    Cattleya mossiae pentaflamea ‘Cerro Verde’

    Probably the most beautiful of my mossiae from the Mantellini collection of line bred flameas. It has many qualities of a great flower; full round shape with no windows, intense coloration of markings, solid trumpet lip with white tube, wide straight horizontal petals, thick substance and...

Fortunately they are taking us on a dowiana tour of nurseries and private collections tomorrow. Yayyy… Here’s...

    Cattleya mossiae var. concolor ‘Canaima’s Heaven’ AM/AOS

    My plant is blooming it’s little heart out at my friend’s GH (David B.) with 6 flowers on two inflorescences (3 each). Beautiful white lip (that unfortunately has red striations that technically rules it not concolor lol) and soft cotton candy pink. Slight orangey fragrance. NS 14 cm.

    Cattleya mossiae pentaflamea ‘Cerro Verde’

    I thought I’d share the most beautiful mossiae flamea I have ever seen, from the line breeding of Armando Mantellini of Cerro Verde nursery. Currently in bloom at their nursery in Florida. I was lucky to secure a division to pick up next month at the Tamiami show. (Pictures from Cerro...

    Cattleya mossiae semialba flamea ‘SUPERNOVA’

    One of my best flameas in my collection with 4 flowers and 4 buds… I named her SUPERNOVA because it looks like an explosion… huge at 7 inches!

    Cattleya mossiae semialba pincelada ‘La Paz’

    A division that I got from Gerardo’s collection in Venezuela couple years ago. First blooming after the shock of travel, so flowers are not at its best. Maybe in a couple more years it will show full potential. Has very nice deep magenta colored lip and mini flares on all segments, among the...
