Default More Cattleya's.......

Hi guys,

This is a gorgeous little flower and it's flowering better than last year. A bit more intensity and definition in the colour, especially the purple spots on the end. One I will definitely keep.....Slc Mari's Beat.



This one has flowered a few times and although the colour is awesome the shape isn't so I have sold this one, the nursery that sold me this one has closed down otherwise I would try a few more seedlings:

Sc California Girl 'Orchid Library' x Mari's Beau 'Allan'



Lastly this is a first flowering plant which I have also sold, took me years to get it to flower and the colour is lovely but I am running out of space so I am saving my space for plants might win me something (sorry I am shallow):

Sc Petite Pride x Blc Toshie Aoki 'Pizzaz'





Thanks for viewing!!!

All very pretty!
The coloring on the second one is very remarkable and I agree it's a shame the shape is not better with flatter petals etc...being that you are looking toward awards Hard to give up I imagine though

What do you do with all award you get? And you probably get many. The color on second one is gorgeous.

I would love to see some of the ones you did keep. They must be stunning if you had to give up these beauties!
