C. NEW HYBRID(C. Fort Motte 'Jaguar' x C. Caudebec Candy 'Pink Vision' AM/AOS)

This thoughtful hybrid was made by Russ Vernon and is right up my alley. These will have shapely hot pink flowers with amethyst spots. Very cool!

C. Interglossa (C. Interglossa 'Aquinii Blue SVO' x C. Interglossa 'Purple Tower' BM/JOGA)

The parents of C. Interglossa are the coerulea color forms of C. intermedia v. aquinii and C. amethystoglossa. The cultivar 'SVO' shows the aquinii influence from the intermedia parent; however, 'Purple Tower' does not, although it was also made with an intermedia v. aquinii. These will be tall plants with large heads of light coerulea flowers and darker blue spots. We expect about 50% to have blue flared petals and blue spotted sepals. These will be very collectable.

C. NEW HYBRID (C. Peckaviensis 'Red Spade' HCC/AOS x C. schilleriana 'Afri' SM/JOGA)

Peckaviensis (C. schilleriana x C. aclandiae) flowers look like huge aclandiae blooms with large, oversized lips. C. schilleriana 'Afri' has a huge flower – really remarkable. To envision the outcome, think of 3-4 large flowers, boldly spotted in burgundy, with huge lips in deep magenta. And fragrant, too! Just like a huge schilleriana but much easier to grow!

C. Loddiglossa (C. loddigesii 'A-doribil' FCC/AOS x C. amethystoglossa 'SVO' 4N)

I have wanted to make this cross for some time, and here it is with the very best parents! The FCC/AOS to C. loddigesii 'A-doribil' speaks volumes about its exceptional floral qualities. The amethystoglossa is a select tetraploid given to me as a gift by Roy Tokunaga of H&R Orchids. It has fantastic shape and an unusual lip coloration that looks a lot like the 'orlata' color form of C. intermedia. These will be tall plants 18-24” in height. Expect huge heads of 12 or more hot pink spotted flowers with pink spade-shaped lips.  Very impressive plants and flowers! If you have the space, this is a top pick.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Slc. Mem. Evelyn Paquette 'SVO' x Blc. Sun Spots 'Tan Man Spots')

Memoria Evelyn Paquette (Slc. Armonía de Sueños x C. Mark Jones) has waxy yellow flowers with red spotting and nearly flat fuchsia lips with 4-5 well presented blooms. Sun Spots (C. Mark Jones x Blc. SunCoast Sunspots) blooms with the most flowers of the grex - the sturdy stem displays 8 to 9 flowers, above the foliage. Flowers are randomly spotted in red with a spade-shaped red lip. Yellow flowers with red spots are very collectable, and this pairing aims to produce these colors and increase flower count to 6-8 per stem. A great choice!

Pot. Stippled Sunset (Blc. Suncoast Sunspots 'SVO II' AM/AOS x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

This cross combines two of my best parents for yellow flowers spotted in red. All of the offspring will have this color combination, and a few might even have coalesced spots on the petals, creating an almost solid burgundy petal color. These are excellent growers and will flower early. Plants will be mature in 4” pots.

C. NEW HYBRID (C. Sandra Turner 'Dark Pink' x C. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

Bright pink flowers with amethyst spots!  This will be fantastic in the summer as that is when it will bloom.  Sandra Turner (C. Lulu x C. Landate) has surprisingly dark pink flowers with bold spotting. Mark Jones 'Lance' (C. Caudebec x C. Fascelis) has been used for years in our breeding program, it imparts wide petals to its offspring and good flower count.  Can't wait to see these bloom.

Slc. Katherine Clarkson (Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'Solar Spots' HCC/AOS x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

The groundbreaking hybrid Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Slc. Jungle Gem) was the first grex to produce large yellow flowers with bold red spots, and the compact plants bloom twice a year with 3-4 flowers. Here we have sib crossed the two best examples of this grex. A great opportunity to acquire this modern classic.

Blc. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Waikiki Jungle 'SVO' x Blc. Lots of Spots 'Ruben's Find')

This cultivar of Waikiki Jungle (Blc. Waikiki Gold x Lc. Jungle Elf) is particularly nice, carrying clear yellow flowers with a random peppering of red spots. The Lots of Spots (Slc. Katherine Clarkson x Blc. Leopard Gem) has bright yellow flowers with clean red spots and outstanding full shape. When breeding for yellow flowers with red spots, the spotting sometimes can coalesce into blotches. Here we are working to develop flowers with clean, distinct red spotting on yellow flowers. These will have good shape with 4-5 well-presented flowers on smallish plants about 8” tall.

Pot. Naomi's Delight (Pot. Sun Spots 'SVO Best' x Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

The parents of Sun Spots (C. Mark Jones x Blc. SunCoast Sunspots) and Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Slc. Jungle Gem) are replete with spots. Naomi's Delight produces beautiful yellow flowers with bold red spots and great shape on a compact plant. This cross can also produce plants that will bloom with as many as 8 flowers per stem. This is “next level” breeding, and there is lots of potential for “best yet seen” results from this cross.

Pot. George A. Pobuda II (Blc. Sun Spots 'Sunspots' x Slc. Mem. Evelyn Paquette 'SVO Hot Spots')

Yellow flowers with red spots is a favorite combination at SVO, and these two parents are proven breeders in this style. Sun Spots (C. Mark Jones x Blc. SunCoast Sunspots) has large flowers, good color, and excellent spotting. Best of all, it imparts these positive qualities to its offspring. Mem. Evelyn Paquette (Slc. Armonía de Sueños x C. Mark Jones) has hard, waxy yellow flowers with red spotting. The lip is fuchsia, and plants have good stems with 4-5 blooms. Expect compact plants carrying good stems of 5-7 waxy yellow flowers spotted in red with fuchsia-colored lips. Fantastic!

C. NEW HYBRID (C. Mark Jones 'Lance' x C. Sandra Turner 'SVO')

Mark Jones (C. Caudebec x C. Fascelis) produces 7-9 full-shaped flowers per stem. It has surprisingly wide petals and olive-green color with dark amethyst spots and a broad red lip.  Sandra Turner (C. Landate x C. Lulu) has an intense dark-pink flower with purple spots.  This cross blooms in summer, a time when not many cattleyas flower.  Plants will mature at 14-16” tall and produce 7-9 flowers per stem in bold colors with dark spotting.
