INTERMEDIA INSANITY!!!!

[gixrj18]

If you are not already crazy about this species, perhaps these will change your mind. I have 6-7 different varieties of C. intermedia, but my collection is laced with at least twice as many different plants of this species. I have orlatas, aquiniis, albas, coeruleas, flameas, tipos, and even as peloric one. It also happens that my largest orchid is, none other than, C. intermedia. This plant consistently produces between 60-70 blooms each year.....simultaneously!! This giant beauty is C. intermedia 'Boca Grande', and it currently has 67 blooms open!

Here is some other intermedias that are currently in bloom:

C. intermedia var flamea 'Petala Larga' x C. intermedia var orlata 'Real':

C. intermedia var aquinii rubra x C. intermedia var orlata 'Quadrado':

...and C. intermedia 'Whiskey Creek' x C. intermedia 'Blue Moon':

....and here's all four together:


Now, after all that drool, ya can't tell me your not crazy about C. intermedia!
