Thanks, but I have to thank Jerry Fischer. It came from Orchid’s Ltd. and was not in bloom when I bought it, it was just beginning to spike.You have one of the better mericlones! Well done!
Thanks Tom, I’ll look it up.Nicely done! I love green Cattleyas. The AOS had a webinar on green cats about a year ago. The presenter was, I believe, from New Mexico. It was very informative. The webinar should be archived.
I'd have to agree with Dr. Leslie, a good mericlone in this case. I remember when blooming size plants of Blc. Ports of Paradise first came out: the clone 'GGG' was offered by Fort Caroline Orchids for $600.00 USD. 'Emerald Isle' is arguably just as good. The flowers are about 6 " across if not larger. The plants are also standard catts and quite large. That's why many people no longer grow them: shortness of space. But they are impressive!Seems like this has been in spike forever. Glad to finally see the flowers. View attachment 21137View attachment 21138
The webinar on green Cattleyas is “Green with Envy “ by Ron Midgett, done on 8 May 2018. It is in AOS webinar archive.Thanks Tom, I’ll look it up.
The flower is 6” across. It has a deliciously sweet fragrance in the afternoon. Mine came from Orchids Ltd for $75 if I remember. They are on his website now for $85.I'd have to agree with Dr. Leslie, a good mericlone in this case. I remember when blooming size plants of Blc.
