Mick,

I'm not fully versed on Cattleya genetics. What color form(s) would you
expect from a cross of a coerulea on the semi-alba?

My Cattleya mossiae semi-alba didn't spike this year...probably upset
by our move last fall. It is absolutely stunning when it does...as is
the one in the photo you posted. Hard to beat those big, showy Cattleya
species.

Ray,

Ooooo Ray, that hurt. I am no longer a hybridizer. I put some pollen from
a blue ribbon (2003 Redlands show) Cattleya mossiae var coerulea on this
plant and the pod has already started. I think that is going to be my cross
of choice on this stud plant.
