Excellent first bloom. It’s my favourite cattleya species. The best examples are exquisite. The coeruleas are particularly good as there were four superb wild clones found and they have since been bred together. The rubras are also amazing.
check out Armando Mantinelli’s website at orquiverde.com for some stunners!

Maybe you should get a flaskI've seen so many leuddemannianas blooming on social media these past few months that I am hooked and may have to get one. The Arthur Chadwick clone Clawhammer posted about on Orchid Board a few weeks ago really got my attention.

They accept capsules and propagate. there are some very interesting flasks on their list. and a ton of information.
Oh yes.. I have been keeping up with your YouTube channel. Very much looking forward to watching you get these flasks. please Put my name on the list for buying a few.. also interested in the blossfeldiana when you decide to raise some funds for the project, happy to support this effort.
On it!Yes I sent them a pod of C. rex last summer and there are several flasks of that still up for reservation requests if you are interested!
Really? 10? That just seems so...excessive...5? Oh wow..imagine all in bloom 10 years from now!
Earliest rex blooms is 5 years. By 10 years, all will be blooming by then. That's the nature of big unifoliate species that is particularly hard to grow like rex.Really? 10? That just seems so...excessive...
