Cattleya violacea fma. Coerulea (‘Blue Bayou’ x ‘Carola’ AM/AOS)

       This is a fantastic “blue” form of the species. Thanks to some SVO line-breeding, these should be some of the nicest coerulea forms of this species. Expect great shape and very nice flower count. Very limited quantities!

         Picture shows C. violacea fma. Coerulea ‘Blue Bayou.’

Each picture shows the parents used to make the cross (pod parent (“mom”) on the left/top and pollen parent (“dad”) on the right/bottom. The flowers will combine various traits of each parent, each creating its own, unique piece of art! Any standalone pictures show some of the plants that have already bloomed and therefore represent what the hybrid might look like.

Thank you so much to Fred Clarke (Sunset Valley Orchids) for allowing RustyExotics to use bloom pictures.
