2025 SVO Cattleya List
 

Welp, the SVO cattleya list is out. When they changed the email address, SVO emails went into my gmail promotions folder instead of the primary inbox, just a heads-up.

Don't really have the room, but:

SVO10674 - 3inch Lc. Sandra Laura (Lc. Sandra Laura 'SVO' AM/AOS x self) : 1 : 18.00

SVO10043t - 3inch B. Crazyarachno (B. perrinii 'SVO 15' x B. appendiculata '4') : 2 : 18.00

I'm going to need them to do a selfing of the C. leopoldii f. coerulea 'Cristina' used in SVO10503

That is an amazing plant. Now I'm thinking I neglected the spotted ones...

I haven't seen a whit(ish) Guarianthe aurantiaca offered before. Of course, since it's a selfing, we don't know what the offspring will be like.

Thank you for the heads up, I missed it in the mess of daily emails that flood my box.

I also have no space, but here I go anyway! I feel I was very restrained ;)

I am a bit confused by Fred's description of of iricolor's fragrance as "floral". It smells like bologna lol

Maybe he's just trying to sell plants. I've seen other references to iricolor smelling like burning plastic. Art Chadwick describes it as a pleasant fragrance, too, though, so either there is variation among plants or among peoples' noses. I haven't smelled it, so I don't have an opinion.

Speaking of fragrance, I may have to get a Pink Spice as well.

I have 3 iricolor cultivars and all smell the same, but fragrance truly is in the nose of the beholder. I can see where one could get burning plastic. It is definitely a strong scent and it fills my grow room like few others.

I focus on fragrant orchids, which explains my choices (in addition to the fact I have all the offered species in my collection already).

I want the mossiaes but I truly have no space... like actually no space
