Summer Cattleya Blooms

[Roberta]

It's a remake. Made with the same species (tenebrosa x milleri) but of course different plants than the original - so the progeny will not be identical.(And there was variation in the original cross, the "best" ones were cloned, that produced specific cultivar names) . Clones of the original hybrid probably would not be available, the original cross was made in 1965. (Unless you get a division from someone's collection) It's the nature of genetics, sometimes the remake looks like the original and sometimes not... among all the seedlings from the remake, all won't be the same, either - seed-grown hybrids will have variability.
