Cattleya eldorado

[DrLeslieEe]

Can we be sure, he isn't luring us down the dark path? Though by reflection, it might be the more exciting and fun path, where angels fear to thread!

Hehe ..... If you only knew the extent of my Cattleya species collection, from my travels and connections from all over the world like Japan, US and South America, you would be more than green Jens. A lot of my Cattleyas were posted on Orchid Board years ago before I got onto ST.

I will keep posting here as they come into bloom unless there is a petition against it?

Dr Leslie you are such a tease! Please continue to post your catts. If we don’t know what types are out there how can we lust after them?

All eldorados are so precious. Keep up the good growing Istvan!

For those interested in Europe there is a young eldorado alba for sale on eBay.

I love eldorados.

It’s true there are rarely any eldorados here. I have the only one awarded in Canada.

Here’s my plant, the Trumpet:

I grow my eldorados in warm temperatures in bright cattleya light (under T5 with 2000 fc) They like more water than normal catts but must have airy roots. Night temperature has to be 18C and above, or it sulks.

Oh my, you’ve done it again. Those splash petals always steal my heart. Gorgeous!! It’s a good thing you are in Canada or I would always be trying to bribe you into selling me divisions.

Please do!! There is a category ‘Non slipper orchid photos’ so it’s allowed, just post there.
