Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace

[Ron-NY]

Not blooming as prolific this year but this is the first growth since repotting. I have removed the other flowers from the spike for I wanted to conserve energy. I put Rhyn. glauca onto this and have done the reverse as well.

Ron, the flower does look a bit like haven had a café chantilly with some cognac inside ,but the color combination is extreme!! Jean

 

[Ron-NY]

Jean, normally the flower's color is not as bold I think it was stressed a bit from the repotting. Here is last year's bloom

Lovely.

The title got my attention! What is this?
WOW!! I do believe I like the bolder one better! (although I'd take either!)

I love this hybrid. It is (Cattleya El Dorado Splash X Caularthron bicornutum)Looks like the 'Twinkle' HCC/AOS clone. The second one Ron-NY posted is typical for the clone. It is also has the magic trio combo of
1)fragrance
2) compact grower and
3) (ours) blooms 2-3 times a year!
A must haver IMO. Oak Hill used to have them???

It is definitely one that will remain in my collection. I wonder what the offspring with glauca will look like. Glauca in known to increase lip size and give substance to it's offspring. I am hoping Chantilly Lace will pass on it's color and spotting. If you notice, the anther cap is already off and the crosses have been made.

Even I like that one.

Very pretty, befitting the name.

Oah, that must have been a huge display with 'cool' colors. But I like the 'warm' coloring of this year's bloom, too!! Jean
