Recc. Frances Fox
 

I got this interesting cross that was imported from Thailand about one years ago.
It bloomed recently. There were six blooms on its two feet long spike.

I want one of these, by the way it is not a Recchara it is a Myrmecatavola, and please don't ask for the ABV. of that name as I have no idea, lets hope one of the other members know it.

Awesome, pheli, whatever it's called.

Wow, what a fantastic mix of colours!

Originally registered as Recchara (Recc) and now officially Myrmecatavola (Mvc) Frances Fox, as noted by buckie. 1/2 Myrmecophila (Schomburgkia) tibicinis, 1/4 Brassavola nodosa and 1/4 complex (Laelio)Cattleya hydrid. An interesting breeding line, with successful result. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Gorgeous!

Love the lip!

Very cool hybrid! My OW has the genus as Rothschildara (Rca) which is B x C x Mcp x S.

Yeah, that too. When one species involved was a Schomburgkia then a Laelia and finally a Myrmecophila, and 2 others were Laelia, then Sophronitis and finally Cattleya, the permutations allow for quite a few names over the years.

does anyone know where to find one of these in the states? i am fascinated by this plant! thanks!

Lovely!

That is a gorgeous bloom! Very striking and I love the lip!

Love the lip and the mix of spots and dots with all the fantastic colors!

Very interesting color. I really like it! Good Growing!

Hello, I hope this is not too late for you.
You can contact Water Orchds (Ms Hope Sun) in Taiwan. theIR web site is: WWW.WATERORCHIDCOM.
I just bought few of these plants from them at the Fort lauderdale + Tamiami Orchid shows two weeks ago. I live in s.florida (zone 10). They are sold out like "Hot cakes" in two shows - Big and georgous flowers. Good luck

Wowsers, gorgeous flowers. Way to go.

Note, this is a REALLY old thread. Like 12 years since the last post, 16 years since the first... participants have, in most cases, not been active on the Board for a very long time.
