Cattleya dowiana rosita-ish
Not quite rosita (as seen by smweaver's stunning plant!), but definitely much darker than most dowianas. I got this plant 3 or 4 years ago from H&R, as I do most of my orchids. I also crossed it with my purpurata, which can be seen from last year's pics here: Laelia purpurata 6-16-2009 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Should be nice! |

Oooo, I've got to go search for a Canadian supplier that has this one. Love the lip veining and color.

Very nice, Steve. Pardon my ignorance, but why is this not quite a Rosita?

Well, the lineage is not from a rosita and I don't think the colors are quite as vivid as the real thing, like yours! Don't get me wrong though, I am VERY pleased with the coloration on this plant! Maybe Mauro or catwalker can lend an opinion on this. You guys out there? lol |

Ask Harry for the larger ones like mine. I think they still have some left. Little pricey now though. |

Thanks Steve for the info, on our list there is 2" and 4" pot sizes, so I sent them an email to inquire about larger than that....we'll see what comes of it.
C. dowiana x L. purpurata = Lc. Dominiana, by Veitch and registered in 1899
I was surprise to find 554 F1 hybrids with dowiana - looks like Mr. Popularity!
phearamedusa......have you dealt with Windsor Greenhouses? I have purchased many great plants from Jean over the years by mail. |
