Cattleya warneri pentaflamea ‘Queen of the Amazonias’

[DrLeslieEe]

My plant flowering in Brazil, awaiting papers for immigration lol.

Beautiful tipo warneri with flares on all five extremities.

Oh that is exquisite! Wonderful form and colour Leslie!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Thanks David… did you know warneri is my second favourite species?

 

[terryros]

Flamea is more unusual in warneri than other species?

 

[Ozpaph]

killer flower!

They occur rarely in nature and have been line bred for these traits. So more common now.

Very pretty, quite rare and obviously not cheap. Congrats Leslie.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Thanks Rudolf.

The pricing of these are not as high as they used to be, for unbloomed seedlings.

Selected cultivar divisions can still command a king’s ransom though 🥹.

Very nice dark color and excellent shape, too!

 

[LadySlipper]

Beautiful, love the color.

Guess that begs the question for your #1 species?

 

[monocotman]

I was thinking about that Rich, I thought warneri was first!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Hehe eldorado is my first!!!

So do you all want to see Leslie get excited. I just sent him this pic. His plant is in re-establishing mode but seems to have enough energy to bloom. Hope they turn out well. Sol de Verao means Summer Sun.

This is the highlight of the day to see the buds on my eldorado that David has managed to expertly grown to blooming stage! Well done my friend!!
