C. loddigesii

Thanks for the kind words.


Frederico, the plant was imported from your country several years ago and is a regular bloomer in winter or early spring here.
I am curious that why some loddigesii clones such as ' Johnny' or 'Seven Stars' would bloom in summer.
The early orchid breeders might do something wrong between this species and harrisoniana.

I think you are right, Pheli! I guess these clone are in fact hybrids with C. harrisoniana (a "summer bloomer"; harrisoniana is for sure another species, with bigger and taller pbulbs, slightly different flowers, but bigger and in greater number per spike); the name of this hybrid is C. Brazilian Midway

Some clones of the summer C. loddigesii are going to flower. This is the first one blooms among them.

That is very nice. Looks like it belongs on a cake.

Absolutely lovely. Compact size. What more could one want?
