The size of your collection is not important, it will grow like it has for the rest of us! You have some very nice plants - think quality over quantity!

 

[NYEric]

I love Catt. walkeriana. World of Orchids in Kissamee used to have some great plants, I think that's what made me get into orchids.

 

[ChrisFL]

Me, too Eric. Compact growth, huge flower (relatively), and amazing fragrance. I need to find a var. tipo with strong parentage.

 

[Marco]

Nice collection. Mine will catch up soon, hopefully.

 

[Paphman910]

You got some real nice Cattleya species!

[Heather]

Nice collection! We like people who grow other orchids too.

 

[NYEric]

Look up walkeriana 'Limrick'. It was a semi-alba I believe, really nice. Now all you need are some Paphs and Phrags!

 

[Rick]

You got some real nice Cattleya species!

Paphman910

I second this:clap:

Are any mounted or are they all potted. Aclandiae and schilleriana are great on mounts.

 

[Grandma M]

Nice collection. Now for some slippers to round out your collection.

 

[ChrisFL]

Thanks guys!

Rick: I grow all species mounted. All on cork panels or, believe it or not, 2x4 pieces (they love these). The aclandiae's love horizontal mounts.

NYEric: I'm not a big fan of walkerianas that have the dolosa in the background, like the albas and Limrick. In fact I may trade my one alba seedling as some point.

 

[ChrisFL]

To add to the list:

C. violacea ('H&R' x 'Hugh Mongous')
C. luteola (Peruvian import)

 

[ChrisFL]

Cattleya lueddemanniana Oscura x Morala 'bien grandel' x self (just imported/bare root)
Cattleya labiata var. coerulea 'Cuyagua' x 'Ocean Road'
Cattleya labiata var. semi-alba 'Just Right' x 'Bon Dia' BM/JOAS
Cattleya bicolor 'Mendenhall Beta' x self (green, likely 4N)

You definitely need some paphs and phrags. When I first started growing orchids I thought I didn't like them, but then I got a paph, and the rest is history.

Nice collection Chris. I started with a Catt as well from a gardening store in Dawson Creek, BC, Canada. They were getting out of the orchid side of things and I bought it for $20. They didn't even have the full proper name for it. I got it to bloom three years in a row, won a prize in the local flower and garden show and was hooked on orchids ever since. Alas, the Catt died on me but I have since had loads of dendrobiums, an oncidium, several phaleonopsis and a coelogne cristata. I now have two paphs - a maudiae and a St Swithins. The Maudiae is just about ready to bloom so I'll post a pic when it opens.
I would list my whole collection but I don't have the full names of any of them. I'm finally getting a little more serious about tracking them and keeping them in order.

 

[ChrisFL]

Thanks guys!

Also to add:

Cattleya maxima v. alba x self.
Neofinetia falcata v. Amami Island
Laelia lundii v. alba

...and a newly imported Cattleya violacea. No idea on the parentage, but the pseudobulbs are giant (>12")

 

[Greenpaph]

I love your Catt collection!

:clap::clap::clap:

 

[ChrisFL]

Brassia caudata

Bulbophyllum arfakianum
Bulbophyllum fraudulentum
Bulbophyllum lilacinum
Bulbophyllum rufinum
Bulbophyllum santosii
Bulbophyllum tricorne

Dendrobium quadrangulare is on the way.

 

[WolfDog1 (C. Williams)]

Alright ChrisFL.......go ahead and list the rest of them.

My 'teensy' collection indeed!

Nice stuff. Now some slippers and you'll really be in business.
