Nice to see you, Massimo and your plants and photos are gorgeous! The Phal bellina is one of my favourites (as everyone else!) and I also find the C. Green Emerald very interesting. What is the background of this cross?
Hi Shirley,
this hibrid (Cattleya Elizabeth Mahon x Thospol Spot) is the result of different crosses.
The botanical species used to obtain the hybrids that have created this one are: Cattleya intermedia Cattleya dolosa Cattleya granulosa Cattleya forbesii Cattleya loddigesii (2 times) Cattleya aclandiae (2 times)
Thank you for that information. Quite an impressive lineage. Seems I'm always attracted to plants that have aclandiae in them somewhere! I think your's is lovely and will have to watch for one of those if available.
