Saw this unnamed Cattleya hybrid at the Tiny Jungle yesterday. It’s a cross between Cattleya Moon Festival-Snow Blind x Cattleya hybrida.

I found this Laelia gloriosa f coerulea at the Tiny Jungle. I’m hoping that mine blooms soon so I can work it into my breeding program.

Yeah, but you may want to check out the CSNJC site for the professional photo. They did a much better job capturing it.

This beautiful Cattleya coccinea (formerly Sophronitis) was unfortunately screened out due to creases found on both petals, at the last CSNJC meeting at Gold Country Orchids.

These Zygopetalum Blue Hawaii siblings were ruled out last Sunday at the CSNJC due to flower abnormalities and spacing of the flowers. This is why it’s always good to stake up your flower spike early to ensure it grows straight.

This lovely Cattleya perrinii, formerly Laelia was ruled out yesterday by the CSNJC. Unfortunately all of the flowers had some form of damage during the travel to the location.
