Well, seeing the Rsc. Terra Nova cross in bloom, inspired me to take out the toothpick, and make some more Cattleya crosses. I tend to like more bold and bright colors: dark purples, reds and yellows. I don't care too much for light pinks. I am also trying to breed for more miniature type Cattleya's that have large flowers. These are the crosses I made:
1) Rsc. Terra Nova 'Purple Velvet'
x Rsc. Lebenkreis (Circle of Life x Rubescence) This is a nice new Mini Cat with vibrant red flowers that are pretty large in size.
2) one of my favorite Cattleya Hybrids: Blc. Dora Louise Carpen LeaAM/AOS
x Slc Barefoot Mailman 'HR'
3) One of my minature crosses: Sl. Mairottiana flava (made with sophronitis flava):
x Slc Barefoot Mailman 'HR'
4) Sc Mini Collins 'PinkSherbet' AM/AOS (a miniature cat)
x Blc. Dora Louise Carpen LeaAM/AOS
