Cattleya x dolosa coerulea Male
Default Cattleya x dolosa coerulea

I bought this as an adult plant a while a ago. It's the second time it flowers this year.

This is a natural hybrid between loddigesii and walkeriana. For me it was a cheap way of almost getting an adult walkeriana in coerulea form. They are normally the most expensive color form.

I just bought a violacea coerulea and it cost 2x an alba and an alba cost 2x a normal version. It's often similar for walkerianas, only you have to be careful because some crossings are simply ugly (in my opinion). This one cost similar to a normal violacea or walkeriana. A steal!

I think dolosa is a very nice hybrid. I'm not a fan of hybrids, but primary hybrids and natural hybrids can be quite cool. If I understand correctly, this natural hybrid has not been reproduced artificially to this day. Maybe somebody could confirm?

Very beautiful indeed. I'm a fan of both hybrids and non-hybrids.

This world/universe has all sorts of wonderful elements (plants, people etc - that are 'hybrids' and 'non-hybrids').

This one is absolutely stunning! Might actually be the best I've ever seen of this cross.

The artificial hybrid is very common and is called Cattleya Heathii. Are you sure your plant is wild collected? If not, there's a good chance it's actually Heathii or some mixture (i.e. not 50-50) of the two species involved.

Heathii - thanks! I didn't know about that one. Still lots and lots to learn. That's why I like this place so much - I learn a lot here! It could very well be Heathii. Thank you.

It looks like it has a lot of walk in it and less lodd, that's why I bought it. I would still confuse it with a walkeriana if I didn't know what it was and see how it grows. I bought this specific plant with a photo of it flowing so I knew what was coming. I am not the biggest fan of loddigesii, even though I have 2 plants of it.

Thats funny, like a 'walkeriana flower' on a 'lodiggesii plant'!

The flower of this particular plant is indeed very appealing. And it still has a kind of 'species wildness', though with very perfect proportions.

Though I'm not a fan of 'blue' Cattleya or Laelia because of that not-colour that results, this one looks delightful.
