Wahoo, it's my favorite season!! Yes, I had to pare down what I ordered too. No species this time around (I wasn't interested in what they had available).

SVO8064t - 3inch C. Princesse Clementine (C. dowiana 'Claire' x C. aclandiae 'Gulfglade' AM/AOS)
SVO10004 - 3inch Enc. Renate Schmidt (Enc. Renate Schmidt 'Purple Sunburst' AM/AOS x self)
SVO9515 - 3inch C. NEW HYBRID (C. warneri f. alba 'Claire' AM/AOS x C. Victorian Lace 'Diamond Orchids')
SVO9575 - 3inch L. Milpurat (L. purpurata f. sanguinea, flamea 'June 25!' x L. milleri 'Dr. Polk')
SVO9831 - 3inch Kir. NEW HYBRID (Slc. Jungle Elf 'Cheryl Lynn' 4n x Epc. Kyoguchi 'M. Sano' Mutation)

I'm particularly interested in the Princesse Clementine (I got 2 of them!), the Kyoguchi cross, and the compact white hybrid, although I'm looking forward to seeing blooms from everything.

Thank you Roberta!

3N kerrii is intriguing and leoloddiglossa is an amazing hybrid but I guess im gonna sit this one out... I even gave myself an allowance in anticipation! Either i have great self control or my snobbery is reaching new heights!

If I was going to grab something, I'd definitely get one of these: SVO9563 C. Leoloddiglossa (C. Leoloddiglossa 'SVO Speckled Blue' FCC/AOS x C. Leoloddiglossa 'Darkest Blue')

I'll wait for the Catasetum list tho...

I'm.....going to order again when the catasetum list drops. But, limited space is limited space. Stephen, I appreciated your recent interview with him - and I'm with you in wishing that he would remake some of those Cycnoches primaries!
