This beauty is blooming again. It ended its last bloom a month ago. I don’t know who Kathleen was, but she sure earns her keep!!
Yes, thrilled!! It was a large plant when I got it last May (6” pot) that I immediately repotted in 7.5” that its climbing out of (and my most expensive plant so far). From Orchids Ltd., Jerry got a division of Bill Rogerson’s original plant, of which this is a division. Glad to know the origin of the name.Well done. Such a rewarding cultivar. Aren't you glad you got it?
Kathleen is (if my memory is right) the wife of Bill Rogerson, the original owner of this plant.
Thanks, Rudolf!!Deborah, this is a extraordinary C. trianae, a beauty. Kudos to you and congrats at the same time.![]()

David, you are in Great Britain, so I know you are not able to be interested. However, I do have a friend who is promised a division. And while not the motive, what you give away always multiplies, I believe... and isn't it fun??I’d be very tempted to take a division of this clone next time you repot it and swap it with someone who has an equally lovely plant!

Even Canada is banned from this trade lol.David, you are in Great Britain, so I know you are not able to be interested. However, I do have a friend who is promised a division. And while not the motive, what you give away always multiplies, I believe... and isn't it fun??
Yes, I know! Remember when I asked you for a division of this, not thinking it through. But I was motivated and fortunate to find one.Even Canada is banned from this trade lol.
But the eternal optimist can always hope!Leslie recently showed a trianae coerulea flamea, I showed a trianae ‘Cashen’s’ selfing that became flamea, and now Deb is showing this wonderful semi-alba flamea. I am guessing the genes for flamea in trianae are not simple. I am guessing that it is not easy to preserve the flamea during breeding?
Thanks, Pete!Well done Deborah. Also glad you were also able to creat a safe place with all your virus testing for this investment. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Dr. Leslie Ee posted a photo of his plant last spring, in bloom, and I fell in love with it? I searched and found it because he’s in Canada and can’t ship a division here. Thanks for the appreciation.That is stunning. I love the intensity of the magenta. And vigorous to boot! Great growing! Another one to add to the wish list...
