Good luck with the breeding program. I too am a lover of coerulea coloured
orchids.

John,

It photographs more blue than it actually is. The flower in 12 noon sun
is not that blue. I do like blue Cattleyas though and I have devoted a
lot of time to searching these prime stud plants out. I hope to
breed/produce more coeruleas in the years to come.

Is the blue in the photo of C lueddemanniana true to life? Amazing
colour.

Gary,

Out in your greenhouse there is a bucket full of dead plant tags and
twisted telephone wire bits... when you get the urge to spend more money
on orchids just go out and look in that bucket for a few minutes.
That'll cure ya.

Did I happen to show you a C lueddemanniana that I bloomed in January?
I can't remember... well, here it is again. Lueddes are so nice...
wouldn't you agree?

Really nice, Mick. Everytime I see some of your plants I get the urge
to order some flasks. Is that condition cureable?

One of my favorite Cattleya mossiae semialba plants took an HCC today
at AOS. I think you will like this flower a lot.
