Cattleya percivaliana peloric in Bud!!!

[dodidoki]

If fragrance is like a rotted bug, it is a real percivaliana.Very nice, unusual clone.

Last day before pollination! Full glory at 14 cm. I think the name ‘Sunset Beach’ is more apt.

I agree lol.

Incredibly striking!
what have you decided to pollinate it with?

'Norma Desmond'

I will self one flower. Then use the percivaliana coerulea marmorata on the other one.

It takes about three days from buds splitting to fully open. can't wait until it has it's signature percivilliana sphere shaped petals.

Leslie, what a great show from emerging of the buds outside the sheath to excellent beautiful flowers. Congrats !
What I'm wondering is .... was this plant found in the wild or did the pelorism appear during line breeding and artificial propagation ?

It was bred from a known peloric percivaliana ‘Hercules’ with a tipo marmorata.

OK. I don't grow Catts but, that is very cool. Good job growing and blooming and thanks for sharing.

Amazing flowers and really minimal floof. I didn't think I'd like it all that much,
but I do! I really, really do! And...excellent upstanding dorsal to boot.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Interestingly the pods kept the flowers like antiques!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Good news! Both pods finally matured with seeds.

The selfing took 9 months while the outcross with percivaliana coerulea marmorata pod took 12 months to mature (collected today with lots of seeds).



Looking forward to a generation of blue pelorics!!

This or next lol.

It’s a genetic game of thrones haha.

 

[monocotman]

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll have a queue forming for any spare seedlings!
