I've never seen them push new roots with a new growth. Very cool!

Moving strongly seasonal plants between the northern and southern hemispheres can be very tricky. Well done!

A note... Ecuador is pretty marginal for southern hemisphere... it is squarely on the equator (so nearly half the country is northern hemisphere...) . The seasonality is not going to be as strong as it would be for a plant sourced from Peru or from southern Brazil.

I didn't get home early enough for decent light to photograph the SVO 7179t. Tomorrow.
But I did go admire both of them.

Cattleya warscewiczii SVO7179t, in a 3" / 7.5cm pot:
I think there might be two seedlings in the pot. It appears as though there are two very small growths at the center of the pot, with two chains of progressively larger pseudobulbs growing in opposite directions. There is a new lead breaking at the base, which was not there when this plant arrived on July 7 of this year. It is at the far end of the pseudobulb chain opposite the newest, longest shoot.
Edit: Almost each seedling Cattleya I got from Fred at SVO on July 7 has begun making a new lead. I find this is normal with plants from him. They are very vigorous and break new leads continuously during warm weather.

From the current Sunset Valley Orchids Web page listing of species Cattleyas:
SVO 7179t
Cattleya warscewiczii (C. warscewiczii 'Stuart's Meteor' x C. warscewiczii 'Michael' AM/AOS)
This has to be my favorite labiate Cattleya species: Tall plants, huge flowers, and beautiful lips – what more could a grower want? I have been carefully collecting these for years and selecting the best quality flowers and plants for vigor, an important consideration with warscewiczii, as they are a bit slow to mature. 'Stuart's Meteor' is a very select plant from Stewart Orchid. It's a strong grower and produces 5-6 blooms per stem. 'Michael' has great form with large 7.5” flowers and grows well. Its roots and root system appear to be a bit more robust, too. These plants are growing well, and I expect good stems holding 4-7 large lavender flowers with full-formed lips and two yellow “eyes” in the throat. This desirable Cattleya species is not often seen for sale and can be very expensive when available. These protocorms were treated with oryzalin (t), a chemical that can double the number of chromosomes. The hope is that some of these will be tetraploids....

Sounds amazing! I have Fred's other warscewiczii (Bedford x self) and have been very happy with it. I bet his other ones will also be excellent.

Dammit again, it looks so good!! Maybe someone will send me a division in a few years. Hopefully my rexes will be good bargaining chips for trades, lol.
