Cattleya gigas (warscewiczii) 'Frau Melanie Beyrodt'
First blooming of this plant for me. As beautiful today as it was in 1904.

Wow a piece of an original wild collected plant? It has a very beautiful lip, and the white sets it off nicely! So.......?

Yes indeed. It has never been mericloned, so plants of it are inevitably divisions of the original.
Divisions appear once or twice a year on fleabay, and if you know who to ask (and have the funds to do so) it can be acquired without too much difficulty. |

Just FYI, you are correct, as of the date of your post, re F.M.B. not having been meristemed. However as of now, a clean piece was sent to Beth Lamb in FL and she has meristemed it. Plants are at a point of being available.
The only reason I mention it, is it frustrates me that when looking at an available piece of one of these antique plants on eBay, there is no registry that tells us if it's been meristemed to know if the seller is reliable in their description. |
