Cyc. warscewiczii ('Giant Swan' x 'Wide Petals')
This species is the most spectacular in the genus. 'Wide Petals' is superior to all others in flower size, count, shape and flowering habit.  Check out the picture: I truly don't believe there is a better warscewiczii out there.  'Giant Swan' is one of my best cultivars, with very large flowers, and is known to produce 3-4 inflorescences per pseudobulb at one time.  I believe that this forthcoming batch will set a new standard in quality for this highly desirable species.

Fdk. Upgrade (Mo. Jumbo World 'Olympic Gold' x Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' FCC/AOS)
This is a new Fredclarkeara (Fdk.) hybrid.  We know that the Mormodia (Mo.) will add color, floriferous habit and flower longevity to the cross.  Mo. Jumbo World (Cl. Grace Dunn x Morm. buccinator) produces 20+ bright yellow flowers with a peppering of red spots, all well arranged on 3-4 inflorescences.  Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' has solid bright yellow flowers with strong inflorescences carrying 25-30 blooms apiece.  This remarkable plant received an FCC/AOS in December 2015.  The lip of spitzii is thick and solid, almost like it's formed from yellow wax!  The hard, flat lip should be valuable in flattening out the lips in this new hybrid, which should have extended flower longevity of 4-5 weeks.  Flower color will be bright yellow with red spotting.  This cross will set a new standard for yellow flowers in Fredclarkeara hybrids.

Ctsm. denticulatum ('SVO II' AM/AOS x 'SVO' AM/AOS)
The long awaited re-appearance of denticulatum is here!  This is a pairing between the two best cultivars of this delightful compact-growing species.  It's taken longer than I thought to have these again.  As you know, it takes male and female flowers to make a capsule, and I finally got female flowers.  Both parents are excellent growers and flower 3-4 times a year as mature plants.  Ctsm. denticulatum likes to stay warm in winter, with minimum temperatures of 60-65 oF and humidity at 50% or higher.  Better get these now - who knows when one will flower female again!

Ctsm. NEW HYBRID (Ctsm. Portagee Star 'Brian Lawson's Sunrise' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. Louise Clarke 'Simply Fantastic')
The Portagee Star has yellow flowers with excellent shape and a flat lip brushed in burgundy.  The Louise Clarke is simply fantastic - superb flower quality, high flower count, huge lips, and blooms 4-5 times a year.  Expect burgundy to yellow flowers with darker spotting, large full lips and the ability to bloom 3-4 times a year.  This is one of the best new standard Catasetum crosses today.

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Frank Smith 'SVO' FCC/AOS  x Fdk. Dark Matter 'SVO')
Fredclarkeara breeding is just fantastic, with hybrids having beautiful color, superior shape, high flower count, and perfectly arranged flowers that are fragrant and long lasting.  Frank Smith 'SVO' (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. John C. Burchett) is no exception, and its flower color is very dark, sometimes appearing to be black. The parents of Dark Matter (Fdk. After Dark x Ctsm. Orchidglade 'JTM') have excellent flower color and shape, and are free blooming. This is the first time we have crosses a Fredclarkeara x Fredclarkeara - this has to be good!

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Ctmds. Dragons Tail 'Dark Tale' x Clo. Jumbo Lace 'SVO')
This grex is a Fredclarkeara, as it has Catasetum, Mormodes and Clowesia in its background.  In this cross, however, an unusual path has been taken to combine the three genera.  Dragons Tail (Ctsm. denticulatum x Morm. ignea) has amazing-looking flowers, almost scale-like, with deep colors and flat lips.  Jumbo Lace (Cl. Rebecca Northen x Ctsm. fimbriatum) has yellow flowers peppered with dark burgundy spots and a frilly lip, and has the added benefit of blooming twice a year.  I can hardly wait to see these flower!  I am expecting 13 to 15 yellow flowers, covered with coalescing dark burgundy spots, and with flattened fimbriate lips.  Flower life in existing Fredclarkearas is 6-7 weeks, and it will be interesting to see if this cross has the same quality.

Painted Desert (Cl. Rebecca Northen x Morm. sinuata) is well proven as a parent, imparting many fine traits to its progeny.  Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' has solid bright yellow flowers of the highest quality with strong inflorescences carrying 25-30 blooms apiece.  The lip of spitzii is thick and solid - almost like it's formed from yellow wax.  This hard, flat lip should be valuable in flattening out the lip in the grex.  The expectation is for long-lasting, mostly red flowers with contrasting flat lips.  Flower shape should be beautiful, and flower count will be high, as both parents can carry 25 or more blooms.  This is a highly anticipated cross with lots of potential to produce some exceptional Fredclarkeara offspring.

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Dark There After 'SVO Winter's Night' FCC/AOS x Ctsm. Orchidglade 'JTM' )
The grex of Dark There After (Fdk. After Dark x Ctsm. Donna Wise) has produced several significant plants, with five receiving AOS awards thus far.  'SVO Winter's Night' FCC/AOS is truly spectacular, with perfectly arranged flowers that are large, flat, and dark burgundy.  Orchidglade 'JTM' is short for 'Jamie's Tortured Midnight' (pileatum x expansum).  This clone has exceptionally large and very dark burgundy flowers.  This new Freclarkeara will further the improvement of flower size and continue to reinforce the dark burgundy color.  These will be fantastic!

Cyc. Pineapple Popcorn (Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO' AM/AOS x Cyc. Kevin Clarke 'SVO' FCC/AOS)
Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO' has an excellent flower with good size, count, shape and blooming habit.  It is a proven grower and one of the best warscewiczii out there.  Kevin Clarke (herrenhusanum x warscewiczii) is truly special.  It is named for my younger son and the first Cycnoches hybrid from SVO to receive a coveted First Class Certificate (FCC) from the American Orchid Society.  The swan-shaped flowers of Kevin Clarke are bright yellow with faint gold spots -- an amazing color -- not to mention the two inflorescences carrying 30 perfectly arranged blooms.  Cyc. Kevin Clarke already has improved lip size and form.  The second addition of warscewiczii genes will result in a significant contribution to the overall size, shape, form and lip qualities of this grex.  It's hard to improve on an FCC, but this has the potential to do just that!

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Saturn Sky 'SVO' x Ctsm. Susan Fuchs 'Burgundy Chips' FCC/AOS )
Fredclarkearas are mostly known for their dark flower colors, but with this grex we are exploring the potential to produce plants with other flower colors by breeding with Saturn Sky (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Frilly Doris), which has densely spotted plum/red blooms.  Susan Fuchs (Orchidglade x expansum) is a proven breeder that needs little introduction, carrying magnificent large yellow flowers with bold burgundy spotting.  I believe that the color genes in the background of this cross will assure brightly colored flowers.  Look for this pairing to produce long, graceful inflorescences carrying 15-25 long-lived yellow flowers with red spots and excellent form.

Ctsm. Double Down (Ctsm. Chuck Taylor 'Wow' x Ctsm. kleberianum 'SVO)
Ctsm. Chuck Taylor (Portagee Star x denticulatum is a very nice mini-Catasetum, with light pink petals and sepals, and a contrasting yellow lip.  It's just beautiful!  Ctsm. kleberianum is a great mini-Catasetum, with a bright yellow lip and dark barring on the petals and sepals that produce a striking color combination.  As a bonus, it also carries 15 or more flowers per stem.  These will be mini-Catasetums with bright yellow lips, and the petals and sepals will have dark bars, some of which will be solid burgundy!   This is one of those 'not to be missed' mini-Catasetums.

Fdk. L'Amour de vie de Sue (Mo. Painted Desert 'SVO' HCC/AOS  x Ctsm. Louise Clarke 'Simply Fantastic')
Painted Desert (Cl. Rebecca Northen x Morm. sinuata) is the parent of the world-famous Fdk. After Dark.  The influence of Mormodia (Mo.) is well known: it adds flower color, multiple pendulous inflorescences and flower longevity to its offspring.  Ctsm. Louise Clarke is named for my mother and is a spectacular hybrid.  The cultivar 'Simply Fantastic' has superb flower quality, high flower count, huge hard flat lips and flowers 3-4 times a year.  The Ctsm. Louise Clarke adds an additional dose of pileatum and expansum, which will provide improved flower size and lip width.  What about color?  I believe that the deep red from Mo. Painted Desert combined with the dark brown of Ctsm. Louise Clarke will lead to red blooms with darker spots, but this cross has the potential to produce black-colored flowers.  All will have excellent form, arrangement and flower count.   Picture of first to bloom Pic 1   Same as SVO 6173

Ctsm. Fong Cing (Ctsm. Orchidglade 'Jack of Diamonds' AM/AOS x Ctsm. José Abalo 'SVO')
This Orchidglade (pileatum x expansum) has dark red flowers and an exceptionally large lip.  The José Abalo (sanguineum x Orchidglade) has a 2 foot long stem carrying 20 dark burgundy flowers with black lips.  This grex was very successful when made with the heavily spotted Ctsm. Orchidglade 'Davie Ranches' AM/AOS, and many plants flowered with strong stems of heavy blooms, deeply spotted with burgundy.  Here are some pictures from that first group. Pic 1 , Pic 2 .  This remake using 'Jack of Diamonds' is designed to reinforce the dark burgundy flower.  I am expecting most to be surprisingly large, dark burgundy flowers on strong stems.  These will be fantastic!

Cyc. warscewiczii ('Jumbo Mutation' x 'OMG')
'Jumbo Mutation' was selected from a large group of flowering clones.  It really stood out as an exceptional flower, clearly a meristem shift (mutation) for the better.  'OMG' is a result of our line breeding and carries excellent flowers showing considerable improvement in petal width.  I believe that this group will set a new standard in quality for this highly desirable species.

Ctsm. pileatum (Ctsm. pileatum 'Dinner Plate' x Ctsm. pileatum 'Jumbo Green Gold' HCC/AOS)
Ctsm.  pileatum is the 'king and queen' of the Catasetums.  These will have large 4-5” flowers, impressive broad green lips, and 10-13 flowers per inflorescence, blooming 2 or 3 times a year.  Several flowered last year and were stunning.  All I can say is "Wow!"

Ctsm. tigrinum (Ctsm. tigrinum 'SVO II' x self)
This is a great species: a small-growing plant producing white flowers with light red spots.  Mature plants carry 15-25 flowers and can flower 2 to 3 times a season.  This plant is very rare in the USA and its homeland of Brazil.  This is the first significant offering I am aware of.  If you collect species, this is a must-have!

Ctsm. pileatum v. imperiale (Ctsm. pileatum v. imperale 'Pierre Couret' HCC/AOS x self)
This pileatum is the imperiale type, and the flowers have quite a bit of red color in them.  It was collected many years ago in Venezuela, and a piece was given to Marcel Lecoufle to be meristemed.  The clonal name 'Pierre Couret' was given to honor one of the founders of the Caracas Orchid Society.  Ctsm. pileatum var. imperiale is only found in a very specific area of Apure state, and some feel that it represents a complex natural hybrid between macrocarpum and pileatum (named xtapiriceps), which then was naturally crossed back to pileatum several times.  Both of the suspected parents grow in the same area, making an introgression between them possible. There are many who would like to understand v. imperiale better, and through the selfing we will be able to see if any of the progeny express characteristics of macrocarpum.  I predict that these will have the broad pileatum shaped lips in colors that tend toward a mixture of solid to blotched red flowers, with a few yellow or green.  The cultivar 'Pierre Couret' is very uncommon in cultivation, and this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of pileatum history.

Ctsm. pileatum v. imperiale (Ctsm. pileatum v. imperale 'Pierre Couret' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. pileatum v. pileatum 'SVO Blood Red')
Many believe that C. pileatum v. imperiale is a natural hybrid involving macrocarpum and pileatum.  With this cross, we are testing that belief, and doing so by combining the two superior v. imperiale cultivars, 'Pierre Couret' and 'SVO Blood Red'.  The evaluation of the offspring will help to determine if v. imperiale represents a species, in which case there should be little variation among the offspring, or a hybrid, which should produce variable progeny.  I predict that many will have solid red flowers with large pileatum-shaped red lips, some blotched red and a few green, too.  A once is a life time unique opportunity in evaluating v. imperale.

Ctsm. NEW HYBRID (Ctsm. Karen Armstrong 'SVO' x Ctsm. Alexa 'Good One')
When Karen Armstrong (Susan Fuchs x denticulatum) was first introduced, it caused a sensation with hobbyists around the country as the first of the mini-Catasetums.  Its flowers are bright yellow with coalescing dark burgundy spots.  Alexa (Bela Vista's Sangria x denticulatum) is the largest, fullest and darkest of the first-generation mini-Catasetums.  It is a real standout!  These plants will mature at only 5” tall and have relatively large blooms in rich colors of dark burgundy, with yellow lips covered with bold burgundy spots and blotches.  This is your chance to get a really special hybrid.  Everyone has space for at least one more mini-Catasetum.  Expect 15-20 flowers per inflorescence on plants that flower 2-3 times per season.

I have wanted to make this cross for some time, and it's finally here!  John C. Burchett (João Stivalli x Susan Fuchs) is the pinnacle of pileatum-based Catasetum breeding today.  Its dark burgundy flowers are fantastic in every way: size, color, shape - you name it!  Crossing it to denticulatum will reduce plant size down into the mini-Catasetum range.  I also expect solid dark colored flowers, but some will be deeply spotted.  These will be amazing!  As an added benefit these will flower 2-3 times a season.  It wasn't easy to make this cross, and once these are gone, I'm not sure when I'll be able to produce them again.

Clo. NEW HYBRID (Clo. Black Jade 'JEM' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. Frilly Doris 'SVOII' AM/AOS)
Here is a real different hybrid for me.  I have been watching this style of breeding out of South Florida and decided to do a test cross along similar lines.  Black Jade (Cl. russelliana x Ctsm. expansum) flowers with long (two feet!) pendulous inflorescences carrying 30 to 35 avocado green flowers with a big black spot in the throat.  The flower form is poor, with pinched petals and narrow lips common to Cl. russelliana hybrids.  Frilly Doris (Doris's Choice x Dona Marie) is a well know breeding plant and makes a good starting point, as it gives predictable results, imparting good flower form, a fimbriate lip, and well arranged flowers.  These will be floriferous plant producing long cascading stems with 25-30 flowers.  Flower color will be green, with many having spots and a big dark spot of black on the lip.  Form will be improved, with broader petals, and the lip will larger and flattened.  I am looking forward to seeing how these turn out!

Cyc. NEW HYBRID (Cyc. Richard Brandon 'SVO' x Cyc. Swan Cascade 'Best Select')
This cross represents some of the most modern Cycnoches breeding today.  As advanced breeding is taking us farther away from the influence of the species, we are finding that the plants are easier to grow.  Richard Brandon (warscewiczii x Jean E. Monnier) was a real breakthrough: superbly-shaped flowers with shield-shaped lips, high flower count, heavy substance and amazing colors.  Swan Cascade (Jean E. Monnier x cooperi) has also produced excellent offspring, with 'Best Select' having particularly long inflorescences carrying 25-27 flowers.  The expectation here is for bronze flowers with darker burgundy spots, shield-shaped lips, and long inflorescences carrying 20 or more flowers.  You can't go wrong with this one!

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Desert Tenor 'Freckled' x Ctsm. Orchidglade 'Davie Ranches' AM/AOS )
Desert Tenor (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. tenebrosum) has light orange flowers with a heavy spotting of orange/red, a very unusual color for a Fredclarkeara.  The flower of Orchidglade (pileatum x expansum) is yellow with red spotting, and a huge lip in the same colors.  Here we are developing a new flower color for Fredclarkeara breeding: orange/yellow blooms with red spots - you gotta love it!  All of the benefits of this breeding will be evident in the progeny as well.

Morm. NEW HYBRID (Morm. Wild Rainbow 'BB'  x Morm. Nitty Gritty 'Darkness')
The late season flowering of Mormodes signals that winter is nearly here, and the bizarre colors, twisted flowers and spicy fragrance typify these last Catasetinae flowers of the season.  Wild Rainbow (andicola x rolfeana) was made by Brent Baker.  It has excellent flowers in burgundy, spotted with dark burnt orange and a spotted burgundy red lip.  The Nitty Gritty (Exotic Treat x rolfeana) is an extra dark burnt orange covered with burgundy spots, and a dark red lip.  This grex is an excellent and highly advanced Mormodes hybrid.  These plants are growing really well, will produce 3-4 inflorescences per bulb when mature and produce some amazing and unusually dark flower colors.

Ctsm. NEW HYBRID (Ctsm. gladiatorium 'SVO 35' x Ctsm. fimbriatum 'Golden Horizon')
Here is the 2nd novelty Catasetum involving gladiatorium 'SVO 35.'  This amazing clone has light yellow flowers with red bars, and bears an incredible 35 flowers per stem.  The fimbriatum is a bright yellow flower with red spotting and a coarsely fimbriate lip.  Here we're having some fun with Catasetum breeding!  These will bear bright yellow flowers with burgundy spots and bars on the segments, and the lips will be highly fimbriate.  I expect the plants to produce 2-3 inflorescences per bulb with 20 plus blooms, a new style of breeding with exotic looking flowers. Super easy to grow and bloom.

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Fdk. Dark There After 'SVO Crazy Good' AM/AOS' x Ctsm. José Abalo 'SVO')
Dark There After (Fdk. After Dark x Ctsm. Donna Wise) has produced a number of significant plants, with five receiving AOS awards to date.  'SVO Crazy Good' is fantastic, with amazing form, size, color and an amazing, very broad almost-flat lip.  The addition of José Abalo (sanguineum x Orchidglade), with its 2 foot long stem carrying 20 dark burgundy flowers with black lips, will give us an excellent opportunity for very dark flowers, with some the elusive black color.  All the benefits of Fredclarkeara breeding will be evident with this cross.  If I was a betting man, this is one I would place my money on. This is not to be overlooked!

Cyc. warscewiczii (Cyc. warscewiczii 'Giant Swan' x Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO Swan')
Both of these cultivars came from my earlier cross of ('SVO' AM/AOS x 'SVO II' AM/AOS).  'Giant Swan' is one of my best, with very large flowers and has produced 3-4 inflorescences per pseudobulb at one time. 'SVO Swan' has the widest petals and fullest flowers I have seen and can carry 5-7 flowers per inflorescence.  I cannot imagine a better pairing and believe this cross will set the new standard of quality.  These are for the discriminating collector, who what the very best potential is this amazing species.

Midnight Sky (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Mark Dimmitt) has beautiful waxy dark, dark, dark burgundy/black flowers with broad lips. It has not been exhibited but appears in every regard to be FCC quality.  John C. Burchett (João Stivalli x Susan Fuchs) is the pinnacle of pileatum-based Catasetum breeding today.  Its dark burgundy flowers have fantastic size, color and shape.  I am expecting very dark flowers, some nearly black.  These will have excellent flower quantity, form, arrangement, size, fragrance and longevity.

The Dark There After (Fdk. After Dark x Ctsm. Donna Wise) 'SVO Crazy Good' is a fantastic flower with amazing form, size, color and an unusually broad lip which is almost flat lip.   John C. Burchett (Ctsm. João Stivalli x Ctsm Susan Fuchs) is as good as it gets with Catasetum breeding today - the dark burgundy flowers are of superior size, color, and shape.  This is Fdk. breeding at its finest!  The Dark There After is fantastic, and adding the huge, dark pileatum-based lip of John C. Burchett again will further increase the size and flatten the shape of the flower and lip.  All of the benefits of Fredclarkeara breeding will be evident with this cross.  This is a cross not to overlook!  Huge potential with this grex.

The grex After Hours (Fdk. After Dark 'SVO' FCC/AOS x Ctsm. John C. Burchett 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS) has two FCC/AOS parents is and the backcross to John C. Burchett 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS makes it three.  This type of line breeding, in which a parent is crossed back to its progeny, will continue to increase flower size and improve lip flatness while maintaining the dark, nearly black-burgundy color.  These will have the excellent qualities of Fredclarkeara hybrids, including flower quantity, form, arrangement, size, fragrance and bloom longevity.

Cycd. Spotted Hornet (Morm. Exotic Treat 'SVO' AM/AOS x Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO Swan')
Cycnodes (Cycd.) hybrids come from the combination of Cycnoches and Mormodes.  This type of primary hybrid gets the best qualities from both parents: the Mormodes is dominant for color, and the Cycnoches is dominant for shape.  Cycnodes hybrids have a proven track record, giving excellent quality flowers that garner lots of  AOS awards.  Spotted Hornet already has received an AM/AOS and a FCC/AOS!  The warscewiczii 'SVO Swan' has the highest flower quality, and the Exotic Treat (sinuata x tuxtlensis) has amazing color.  These are going to be bright yellow flowers with bold burgundy spotting, and the blooms will have excellent shape and size.  This grex has very high award potential.  As a bonus, I also was able to make the reciprocal hybrid, SVO 6489.  This will allow for the rare opportunity to compare the influence of pod vs. pollen parent on the progeny.  Here are the pictures of the awarded plants Pic 1,   Pic 2

Fdk. NEW HYBRID (Mo. Lime Tiger 'SVO' AM/AOS x Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' FCC/AOS)
Here we are looking for dark chartreuse yellow flowers with darker green stripes - how cool is that?  The Mo. Lime Tiger (Cl. Rebecca Northen x Morm. elegans v. alba) has a green flower with green stripes, and I believe this color will be a dominant characteristic.  It produces 3-4 pendent inflorescences per bulb and is quite showy.  Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' has solid bright yellow flowers with strong inflorescences carrying 25-30 blooms apiece.  The lip of spitzii is thick and solid - almost like it's formed from yellow wax.  This hard, flat lip should be valuable in flattening out the lips of this new hybrid.  Green striped chartreuse Fdk. flowers - very interesting!  Of course these will have all the known qualities of Fredclarkeara hybrids.

Ctsm. José Abalo (Ctsm. sanguineum 'SVO' x Ctsm. Orchidglade 'JTM' )
I have admired my plant of José Abalo 'SVO' for many years.  With its 2 foot flower spikes, each carrying 20 dark burgundy flowers with black lips, it is spectacular.  The sanguineum holds its flowers on a straight, upright inflorescence, and the flowers are spotted with a very dark lip. Orchidglade 'JTM' (pileatum x expansum) has exceptionally large and dark burgundy flowers. This is a great opportunity to acquire a proven hybrid that is rarely available for sale. Here is what Jose Abalo 'SVO' looks like Pic 1 and here is a picture of 'Clair' Pic 2

Clo. NEW HYBRID (Cl. Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink' x Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' FCC/AOS)
When a Clowesia (Cl.) is crossed with a Catasetum (Ctsm.), the hybrid genus Clowesetum (Clo.) is created.  The flowers become 'perfect' (bearing both male and female structures), and bloom longevity is extended to 3-4 weeks or more.  Cl. Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink' produces 20 or more frilly pink flowers on 3-4 pendulous inflorescences from leafless bulbs in mid winter.  Ctsm. spitzii 'SVO Gold' has solid bright yellow flowers with strong inflorescences carrying 25-30 blooms apiece.  The lip of spitzii is thick and solid - almost like it's formed from yellow wax; this should be valuable in flattening out the lips of its progeny.  I really like Clowesetums: the flowers look like Catasetums, but instead of flowering throughout the year, they bloom like Clowesias, with 3-4 inflorescences produced all at once.  These plants are growing vigorously and will produce fragrant, shapely bright yellow flowers on long pendulous inflorescences in late fall and early winter. This is the first to bloom, long lived flowers, great fragrance and color Pic 1

I've been breeding for Cycnoches with yellow flowers and red spots, a combination that I really like.  The Anne-Kathrin Berger (pentadactylon x herrenhusanum) has this color combination as well as great flower form, high flower count and ease of plant growth.  This warscewiczii has great flower quality and is a reliable, vigorous plant that has been part of my breeding stock for at least 15 years, imparting these qualities to many offspring. The hope is for a high percentage of yellow flowers with fine red spots. Flower shape will be excellent, and the pendant inflorescences will have 13- 15 well arranged flowers.  I am very optimistic about the results here.

Fdk. Majestic Orchids Shopper (Fdk. After Midnight 'SVO Dark Beauty' FCC/AOS x Ctsm. John C. Burchett 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS)
The capsule parent is the best After Midnight (Fdk. After Dark x Ctsm. Mark Dimmitt), as the FCC/AOS award indicates, but I'll add that it was awarded with 32 perfectly-arranged, flat, dark black-cherry red flowers on two gracefully arching inflorescences.  This John C. Burchett (João Stivalli x Susan Fuchs) is as good as it gets with Catasetum breeding today.  The dark burgundy flowers are of superior size, color and shape, and the lip is huge and flat. This grex is top Fredclarkeara breeding, and the addition of the huge dark pileatum type lip from the John C. Burchett will further increase and flatten the flower size and lip shape.  How can it get better than this?  If I were a betting man, this is another where I'd put my money!

The 'Ursa Major' has a huge flat nearly black lip a truly spectacular feature.    I don't think there is a better cross with this of high potential.

An FCC/AOS is the highest accolade that AOS judges can confer.  The Spotted Hornet (Morm. Exotic Treat x Cyc. warscewiczii) has superior color, with the sepals and petals a bright yellow-green spotted mahogany and an orange lip, spotted with mahogany.  This grex exhibited the best qualities that result when a Mormodes and a Cycnoches are combined: the Mormodes is dominant for color and the Cycnoches is dominant for shape.  By line breeding back to Cyc. warscewiczii, I predict improvement in flower form with wider and flatter blooms.  I am also expecting  the flower color to prevail, as it is dominated by the Mormodes.  These have lots of potential for the 'best yet' in Cycnodes breeding.
