My coccinea hybrid blooms

[RJSquirrel]

Ill make a thread for my mini coccinea hybrids for the benefit of those who would wish to try some of them.

Rhyncholaeliocattleya Memoria Alida Laboy orchid images, lineage and ancestry

39% coccinea.





just bloomed last week. They take about a week to wiggle around and finally set. A deep reddish purple flower with lots of sparkles. Stays compact. Can Bloom twice a year with every new growth when mature.

Ooh this post is so timely! I have an Rlc Galactic Glow (also 39% coccinea) blooming for the first time. When the flower first opened the dorsal sepal was folded way back from the rest of the flower. I was worried that I had gotten a dud plant, but it is now starting to move back into the proper position. Is this what you mean by "wiggle around and finally set"? This is my first mini-cat, so I don't really know what to expect.

P.S. The one you have is a beauty!

Lexacat, that one is not too shabby itself. As far as Rjs his is terrific.

Thank you, Waterdog - I agree.

I tend to scrutinize the first blooms on plants more than I should and need to learn to be patient for the second, third and beyond.
