Picked up another Cattleya violacea today from Alexis Pardo at Orquidearios Venezolanos. Very miniature cultiver, ~3" leaves and ~6" tall bulbs.

Probably murder these pretty quick.

Nice bulbos going on there!

 

[NYEric]

Like WHOA!!!

 

[Ron-NY]

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

Eric 'Limrick' is an alba. Glen has one in his collection.

Chris, that collection has grown!!
I don't think you would want to see my Bulbo list I think I have reached 150 species

 

[ChrisFL]

Ron, Limrick is technically a semi-alba, there is lavender in the lip. It's also the most hideous walkeriana I've ever seen. The wide sepals, frilled lip, it's everything a walkeriana should not be. God only knows what species are really in its background.

Ron, I'd love to see the bulbo list. I'm not interested in the 114 cirrho species on it though.

 

[Heather]

Just ONE Neo??

Sigh....

 

[ChrisFL]

Yup. Sorry Heather. My brain and my checkbook don't understand the fashionable/collectible Neo thing at all.

A long time ago [1998?], when I started collecting I went to World of Orchids and Kerry's catalog had Catt. walkeriana 'Kenny' and 'Limrick' I think both of the photos were albas. The color of the flower had an almost bluish tint.

Ron, I'd love to see the bulbo list. I'm not interested in the 114 cirrho species on it though.

What's the diff?

 

[ChrisFL]

Cirrho generally has umbel-carried flowers. Not a fan.

 

[NYEric]

Educational forum too! Thanx.

 

[ChrisFL]

After WOC I can add

Bulbophyllum dennisii 'Lil' CBR/AOS
Bulbophyllum longisepalum

 

[NYEric]

I'm really hoping you got more than that.

 

[Grandma M]

They have messed up the line between Bulbo and Cirrho so much that it is difficult to know which it is anymore.

 

[ChrisFL]

I'm really hoping you got more than that.

Of course, but those are the only new species I got. I collect walkeriana and nobilior, so I did a lot of speculative seedling buying from Cesar Wenzel and H&R. I'm also a poor grad student on an extremely limited budget.

 

[NYEric]

Are you going to sell the seedlings or try to make new crosses?
