Cattleya x mesquitae

[izio116]

So did you get this one from nature Mauro??

I don't think I could recongnize a C. x mesquitae if I have it in front of my eyes. Dolosa is easier.

One of my dreams is to see cattleyas in situ, any type. Specially intermedias!

Another question, can you tell me who are the parents of C. duqueana, I haven't heard of it. Have you got some picture?

Thanks Mauro!!

According to some reports, there are some areas in Goiás that don't have the parents anymore, only C. x mesquitae. Some clones are very difficult to tell apart from C. nobilior, but in general it is easier to separate from C. walkeriana. After awhile your eyes get trained and the thing becomes easier.
Seeing orchids in the wild is one of the most wonderful things for the orchid lover, I agree!
Cattleya x duqueana is a natural primary between Cattleya bicolor and Cattleya guttata.
