Cattleya nobilior x2

[isurus79]

Here are a couple of nobilior that I've grown for a while. The first is kind of a wonky shaped tipo that is walking out of a big (12"?) pot. The second one I'm VERY excited about. This coerulea is from Francisco Miranda and is a first bloom with parents named #1 x #2. The plant is huge and flowers are monstrous (i.e. hand size)! I think this is the best coerulea in the USA right now. No joke! Also remember that coerulea breeding for this species is light years behind the more common colors.

Check out my YouTube channel for a whole discussion on them.
