That's a great story! Since we have an orchard I have dabbled in bonsai a bit. and there's a lot of waiting in between things to do! -Patrick

It was a gift from a friend at the VOS and I thought it would be big, round, orange and frilly. I brought it home and put it in the cattleya seedling bench. Never looked it up and 9 months later. -Patrick

Not untidy I just can't be bothered to rip it up and split it. -Patrick

Well this one is 'Hal' I don't know if it's been awarded. -Patrick

Ok, there were just sooooooooo many questions in your first post. -Patrick

I guess its an inside thing but am I only one that wants to know why its on a cook top burner and what the "fire incident" is and why it decreased the bud count???? -Patrick

With a name like Jillian Lee 'Hal' I thought it was a seedling and that it would look like the famous clone Rlc.Jesie Lee 'Hawaii' and you could imagine how shocked I was when it bloomed! -Patrick

An Ex-schomburgkia hybrid that could use a repot. It has a beautiful fragrance and somewhat short spikes for a splenda hybrid. -Patrick

I always like to think just do what you would do anyway and someone will continue on and hopefully appreciate it as much as you do. -Patrick

So in other words, I should just start making crosses with my good stud plants and when they flower if there anything worth registering, register it. And if its a remake then its either a nice remake or there all dog ugly. Right? -Patrick

Thanks Terry, great info! -Patrick

I don't worry about virus because I have a mostly historical hybrid & spices collection and almost everything is virused. The only time I would toss a plant is if it won't grow well do to virus or color break/deformity and if the plant is of great historical value it will be selfed and grown...

Where should I go to find out what crosses have already been made? I tried the RHS register but they have no record of some crosses I know that have been done. As an example C.Duvalliana (lueddemnniana x purpurata) no record. -Patrick

T There was 2 plants in 3" clay pots & moss with 2 bulbs and a flower for $250 each.

As Art Chadwick Sr. Said "cattleyas live forever, if taken care of" there many plants in private collections that are much older. it's this virus purgeing that has taken many of them out.

I saw one of these for $125 a bulb at Chadwick's last year. About how many bulbs did the divisions have and how much did they cost? -Patrick

Thanks all! I've placed an order for some species and hybrids from Orchids by Hauserman. And I'm looking at H & R's list. What do you all think about Ecuaganera? There going to be at our spring show. -Patrick

SVO too?

Yeah, I hear there going out of the business. -Patrick
