I wonder if with all that mixing [esp C Summer Snow seems crazy complicated] there are many different shapes and colors of C Lulu. couldn't each different seedling look way more a different parent?
How is it influenced by C guttata?
the spots?petals shape? but that could be C aclandiae too

The diminutive plant size & red spots are largely from C aclandiae. The pink petals & sepals, largely from a pink type C loddigesii. The wide, dark pink/red lip from everywhere. The nice fragrance mainly from C aclandiae, tempering the not as nice fragrance of C guttata.
There are different looks to C Lulu. They are usually pink/lavender, with nice wide, dark pink lips. Some have red spots, some do not.
C. Lulu breeds on fairly nicely. But if you want spots, you may as well start with C Brabantiae or C aclandiae, instead of mixing in all the rest. You’d get better spots by that route.

This plant was from one of catwalker's stock (ie. H&R) actually, so he should know. The plant was actually a medium sized Catt though. Very skinny bulbs (similar to a young amethystoglossa) but probably a foot tall (the bulbs I mean). Dang, I miss this plant. |

Thanks for the information.
These are all great cattleyas.
C Penny Kuroda is also one of my favorite cattleyas. |
