This is one of my favorite species too! I also think I prefer the clearer looking breeding, but so far the only one large enough to bloom for me is ''xxx' which I think is Florida breeding? Which others do you have?

Yes, 'XXX' denotes Florida breeding lines. I purchased this particular orchid from Palmers Orchids. It was a mature plant from their selfing of ‘XXX’ (C. amethystoglossa ‘XXX’ x self).
I also have a pale variety of C. amethystoglossa (2N) that is my favorite -- see below. I'm currently on the search for a 4N variety (a larger plant with larger flowers) to also add to my collection.

The best polyploids come from H&R, though they're 3N. You get all the flower perks with a 3N, but just can't breed with it. |

Thanks for the tip, Stephen. I just downloaded the H&R NURSERIES - Spring 2025 - Retail List for Mar. 8, 2025 thru June 15, 2025. I see a few C. amethystoglossa 4N selections  There are also some other wishlist goodies (ie. C. rex, C. warscewiczii v. semi-alba, C. dowiana) that, unfortunately, are already sold out or I can't afford at the moment. A girl can continue to dream, though, right?
