flamea

Love the color combo of this so I named it such. Good flat shape in sepals and petals but that curled lip is disturbing to me lolzzz. Blooming in Brazil at my buddy’s backyard.

My plant flowering in Brazil, awaiting papers for immigration lol. Beautiful tipo warneri with flares on all five extremities.

So I couldn’t find any tag on pot but know it’s on the warneri section. Has the same wide thick leaves. Tag must have fallen somehow. The investigation of this mystery plant continues. Might be a division from Tamiami or Brazil. Or a seedling cross from AWZ. Flamea, atropurpurea (solid) lip...

Another division I got from Orquidário Americana in 2020 (#3638). Very dark lip and big flamea. Quite lovely.

Such a cutie mini … with wonky side lobes … and a pentaflamea. Now considered Cattleya…. Hmmmm 😳.

Just opening! Might be pentaflamea but let’s see in a few days. Original division from Orquidário Americana (they import all over the world). Wonky at the moment lol.

A nice flamea with wide petals and very strong flamea. A division from Orquidário Americana breeding lines. NS 17 cm. Still stretching I think lol. Unfortunately only one flower since first bloom after establishing. Judging requires two flowers so next year then.

I thought I’d share the most beautiful mossiae flamea I have ever seen, from the line breeding of Armando Mantellini of Cerro Verde nursery. Currently in bloom at their nursery in Florida. I was lucky to secure a division to pick up next month at the Tamiami show. (Pictures from Cerro...

Received this division from Brazil from the nursery Orquidário Americana in 2020. Finally it grew strong enough to bloom. Amazing flamea in a coerulea form of this lovely species. Almost pentaflamea with the mini brush strokes in sepals.

I finally bloomed this lovely species! Warm all year long with medium light. Another sheath shows tiny buds, so very excited 😜! NS 12.5 cm.

A division from Orquidário Americana (Brazil) with big flares. First flower since arrival a year ago. Just opening:

So after a decade of searching (and pleading), I finally secured two rex flameas from Peru! It is my all time favourite of all flameas, my holy grail! Presenting not one but two plants! First one is rex flamea ‘Yawar Saywar’, rounder and fuller petals. Second one is rex flamea ‘Flameada en...

First bloom of a division plant from the collection of Orquidário Americana in Brazil. Just lovely I think! I named it on a play of words. Can anybody guess what it says?

Happy New Year to everyone around the world! Panda heralded in the new year here in Toronto with opening it’s first two (of four buds). Bright fuschia around the eyes! And a dual tone light pink to sepals. A division from Wakayama Orchids nursery. NS 13.5 cm. More pics when all open...

Hey folks! Just want to share my excitement about just ‘procuring’ another beautiful flower/plant recently from Brazil. As some of you might know, warneri is my favourite cattleya species. And, flamea my fave colour form. So the combo is a dream!! Look at this beauty! I named her in...

One of the divisions from Orquidário Americana (Brazil) is starting to open its flower. A type form with flamea on petals and sometimes sepals (present here in lateral sepals), with a very dark atropurpurea lip. NS 15 cm at present. More photos to follow as it unfolds further. Orquidário...

One of my best flameas in my collection with 4 flowers and 4 buds… I named her SUPERNOVA because it looks like an explosion… huge at 7 inches!

One of the rarer color forms of this species. The blue flamea markings are quite large and deep in color. Will be useful in future breeding for this type. Plant arrived November about 4 months ago, rooted and bloomed (upside down lol). Still not as strong yet to reach potential flower form...

This is perhaps my most favorite lueddemaniana for the past 5 years. It is light pink with magenta flaring on all five segments, each a pincelada streak. Some call it a 5 point star lol. The lip is nicely marked with two yellow eyes. Flower shape is very round. Size is respectable at 14 cm NS...

Bright and cheerful. Good grower with multi leads...
