Lc. Canaima's First (L. purpurata carnea x violacea carnea) 2" Pot

Lc. Canaima's First  (L. purpurata carnea `Paul' AM/AOS x violacea carnea `Pink Panther')     A remake of a cross registered in 2005. This remake is using carnea forms of both species. This type of breeding does not always come true to form, but it should be an interesting plant to grow out. Flower shown is a first bloom plant from this same cross. This is very exciting and a possible break through in carnea type breeding. 2" Pot 3 Years to Blooming Size Spring/Summer Bloomer     Cattleya Culture Light is the most important factor in growing and flowering cattleyas, whether in a greenhouse or in the home. Bright light to some sun should be given to the plants, with no direct sun in the middle of the day. This means an east, shaded south (as with a sheer curtain) or west window in the home, and 50 to 70 percent full sun in a greenhouse (3,000 to 5,000 foot-candles). Leaves should be a medium green color, pseudobulbs erect and requiring no staking. Temperatures should be 55 to 60
