Summer Cattleya Blooms
Here's a bit of a photo dump. Lots of beautiful things in bloom in the last two months!
From first to last:
C. tenebrosa aurea
C. Zip
E. Rioclarense (cordigera x randii)
C. Christian Starr 'Aloha'
Rlc. Copper Queen - taken right after the blooms opened and then a week later. Gotta love the Richard Mueller hybrids!
Enjoy,

I'm waiting for my Zip to bloom for the first time.
Mine tends to have very long outer sheats that prevent leaves from unfolding so that I have to cut them. It happened more than once.
Did it happened to yours too?

I haven't experienced that! I believe the tenebrosa used was tetraploid so I'm sure the genetics are different between our plants. This plant is resembles the look and size of a tenebrosa pretty closely.

I seem to remember someone said that Fred will offer more Zip on his 2025 Cattleya catalog. Hopefully you can grab a seedling (or several) then!

He told me he was planning to remake Zip, but in that case I wouldn't expect offerings for a few years. But I'll keep on the lookout from reputable vendors. |

I wanted to find out more and did a search for Cattleya Zip and found someone selling them.
Is this a different hybrid or maybe a progeny??

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.
