Lc.Time-Life

[Carmella.carey]

I love Hausermann's hybrids, being a cut flower producer they love mossiae as much as I do and crossed it with every big spring hybrid because they knew the offspring would be large, floppy, lavender, fragrant and spectacular.

Nice flower, Patrick. Can it get more than two flowers? Another one that is now just Cattleya, instead of Lc., because of the switch of purpurata to Cattleya.

Thanks Terry, I've only ever had two flowers per spike. since there so large I guess that is as much as it can support. I have just re-done all my tags last month, next time I replace them all I'm thinking of only putting the grex, cultivar, year and awards instead of the genus or intergenaric name.

That’s what I do. My master list on the computer has genus, but the tag just species or hybrid name along with cultivar name. Easier to change my Excel spreadsheet (or a database if you use one) than a tag!
