New list dropped this morning!

I feel like this is more of a confession thread, ha!

Hi, I am William, and I bought:

SVO10068 - 3inch Cyc. cooperi (Cyc. cooperi 'Green' HCC/AOS x Cyc. cooperi 'Mem. Pat Worthington' AM/AOS)
SVO10649 - 3inch Cl. rosea (Cl. rosea 'Collected' x Cl. rosea 'Line Bred')
SVO10629 - 3inch Cyc. NEW HYBRID (Cyc. Alexis Jesus Pardo 'SVO' x Cyc. Dark Swan 'Black Swan')

I have been wanting Cl. rosea for a few years, and was very happy to see it on this list.
Excited for the possibility of a lighter-colored, possibly green Cyc. cooperi.
And a new Cyc. hybrid? Why not. The parents look outstanding.

One of my favorite Cattleyas bit the dust this week, so I could allow myself to honor its memory with three new babies.

Here's a link to the lists.
Catasetinae
Australian Dendrobiums

I woke, I saw, I ordered!

I have been wanting Cyc. pentadactylon, Cyc. warscewiczii, and Cyc. cooperi and all three were there so, of course, I ordered them.

:rofl::rofl: Absolutely right!!

I forgot to post what I ordered:

SVO10059 Ctsm. NEW HYBRID (Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO' AM/AOS x Ctsm. ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy')

SVO10584 Morm. Aftermath (Morm. Aftermath 'SVO Nuclear Fallout' AM/AOS x Morm. Aftermath 'Neon Blaster' AM/AOS)

SVO10603 Ctsm. denticulatum (Ctsm. denticulatum 'Yellow Lip' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'Wide Petals')

SVO9948 (Ctsm. Melana Davison 'Bombshell' x Ctsm. ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy')

I didn't need anymore plants, especially catasetinae, but I do need medium bark, so better to order some plants too right? The second release may be the best catasetum release yet based on my tastes (line bred species and hybrids). Plus I resolved to sell some of my larger plants during dormancy and picked up some smaller growers. This was my rationalization anyway.

SVO10535 - Cl. russelliana (Cl. russelliana 'SVO' x Cl. russelliana 'David N')

SVO10584 - Morm. Aftermath (Morm. Aftermath 'SVO Nuclear Fallout' AM/AOS x Morm. Aftermath 'Neon Blaster' AM/AOS)

SVO10602 - Ctsm. tigrinum (Ctsm. tigrinum 'Wyche' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. tigrinum 'Very Wide Petals')

SVO10603 - Ctsm. denticulatum (Ctsm. denticulatum 'Yellow Lip' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'Wide Petals')

I wanted to expand my collection to Clowesia so I got Grace Dunn (10617, Cl. rosea 'SVO' x Cl. warczewitzii 'SVO') and Rebecca Northen (10712, Cl. Grace Dunn 'Chadds Ford' AM/AOS x Cl. rosea 'Fantastic Andy').

I also recently lost my previous Cycnoches cooperi so I got two this time (10068, Cyc. cooperi 'Green' HCC/AOS x Cyc. cooperi 'Mem. Pat Worthington' AM/AOS).

Now I just have to figure out where I'll put them...

There were a several species that looked very interesting to me, but I am REALLY out of space so just got 2...
10649 Clowesia rosea
10536 Ctsm. spitzii

Maybe best to shop this time if year, when I can SEE that I have no space because some of the big ones are already hogging the growing area. If I bought during dormancy when they don't take up so much space, I'd be far more vulnerable.:biggrin:

I'm not too worried about space for Catasetum. Throw them outside somewhere in the summer, and they barely take up any space in the winter.

Same as with Stephane, after losing some plants I now buy 2 of everything.

10641 Cyc. lehmannii
10649 Cl. rosea
10623 Cyc. warscewiczii
10607 Ctsm. denticulatum (Ctsm. denticulatum 'Yellow Lip' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO II' AM/AOS)
10603 Ctsm. denticulatum (Ctsm. denticulatum 'Yellow Lip' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'Wide Petals') (1)
10535 Cl. russelliana (1) I think I already have one
10068 Cyc. cooperi

I have a Cl. rosea 'Fantastic Andy' x self from last year that's hanging on to dear life. I had a thrips (or was it fungus gnats) infection or something that decimated a part of the collection. They were silvery insects that multiply near the root zone of the plants, and for the longest time I couldn't figure out what it was. But after soaking all my plants in some Thiomyl and then hydrogen peroxide for good measure I think I'm over it. I'm glad SVO re-released the rosea since I was thinking I really wanted one.

Damn, I didn't know this was a thing! But after I lost two Phalaenopsis and a Catasetum Jamie Lawson this Summer, I too felt like I had to get something new to honor their memory...

- SVO10059 Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO' AM/AOS x Ctsm. ivaneae 'Purple Fantasy'
- SVO10396 Gal. greenwoodiana 'SVO Purple Lip' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'Orange Lip'
- SVO10063 Ctsm. pileatum v. imperiale 'Pierre Couret' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. pileatum f. album 'Snow White' FCC/AOS

I also got: SVO9536 Aslla. gigantea, not from the Catasetum list but I was browsing the website to see what else Fred had and the "Misc." section had been cleaned up a lot. Those of you seeking miniature should check out a new plant he just added to the Zygopetalum family: Kefericzella Gary Krause.

As for me, I'm expecting to be eaten out by my orchids one day, so I don't worry about plant size at this point, just looks :biggrin:

Here's my confession... Feels like we're playing Wordle or the new Connections game where you copy and paste your results...

SVO10645 - 3inch Mo. NEW HYBRID (Cl. Grace Dunn 'Live Oak' HCC/AOS x Morm. Aftermath 'Neon Blaster' AM/AOS) : 1 : 20.00
SVO10584 - 3inch Morm. Aftermath (Morm. Aftermath 'SVO Nuclear Fallout' AM/AOS x Morm. Aftermath 'Neon Blaster' AM/AOS) : 1 : 25.00
SVO10665 - 3inch Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Dark Matter 'SVO' AM/AOS x Ctsm. Dagny 'Fantastica' FCC/AOS) : 1 : 20.00
SVO10649 - 3inch Cl. rosea (Cl. rosea 'Collected' x Cl. rosea 'Line Bred') : 1 : 25.00
SVO10641 - 3inch Cyc. lehmannii (Cyc. lehmannii 'SVO' x Cyc. lehmannii 'No.1 x No.2') : 1 : 25.00


And now for a question. Some of the plants I got in the last batch are going nuts. Like in a really good way. They like me and my conditions! Huzzah! Is it too late for repotting?
