SVO Spring 2021
 

Fred Clarke of Sunset Valley Orchids recently sent out his spring Cattleya list to people on the E-mail list. I think they're available to everybody now on the SVO site.

Another order of splendid plants. They arrived via FedEx a day earlier than expected. No time for photos. I squeezed in time to unpack them; now there lots of other things I must do today.

But I will mention that three came in spike: 7895 Epicattleya Kyoguchi (Kyoguchi 'M. Sano Mutation' x Kyoguchi 'Diamond Orchids' AM/AOS ); 7960 Epc new hybrid (Atomic Kyoguchi 'SVO' 4n x Kyoguchi 'M. Sano Mutation') and 7878 C. aurantiaca f. punctata ('Mishima Spots' x 'SVO Spotty').

The 7702 Brassavola perrinii is beautiful, and much larger than I expected. The 7984 Dendrobium aggregatum look like they will be big enough to flower next spring.

The Australian Dendrobium hybrids I ordered from him last fall are putting out new growth.

He does have nice orchids. I am looking forward to when more of the ones I bought last year bloom.

My shipment is arriving today!

I got an Epc Kyoguchi too, hope its in spike, I hear the fragrance is something :)

PS I'm also getting a long awaited custom banjo today so it is a super special day over here :)

Bela Fleck fan? I'm a musician. I can't help myself.

Big time, although I play clawhammer/two finger, the guy is an inspiration and an innovator. What do you play?

ES, sorry about the hijack!

Got vax #1 yesterday and SVO plants to arrive today. Has all been good!

Pm

Lol it's OK

As always, flawless plants that continue to exceed my expectations. Fred threw in a $35 Den Austrailian Robbie McIness for free and it is in flower! The Epc Kyoguchi is in spike. The L Zip has a sheath.

Thank you Sunset Valley Orchids!!

Look forward to seeing every else's pics :)

Excellent! The little catt on the right looks like it is trying to crawl off with the pot!
