| We came from here The thread "Happy New Year- our Orchid blooms in January 2012" in Orchids forum Let's start the new month and post away! Rhyncholaelia glauca opened the first bloom of the season. The flower has a very pretty scent at sundown.    Ascocentrum christensonianum starts up again -   Lc. Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' is showing off some more. It's full sun for this one or it produces floppy growth.    |

| Great start! How old is your Rhyncholaelia? I'm asking because I got a tiny one last summer that is putting out a new growth of some kind. |

Carol, I bought it around 2003, it bloomed in 2005 for the first time for me. It was still a small plant then, here is a pic from 2005. |

 C. Beaufort x Blc. Sunset Bay. C. Claudebec x Lulu (i think) just opened and will go pinker with age. |

| I think you could consider that Rhyncholaelia glauca a specimen plant now. It looks so big and beautiful. Good growing, Ursula! Also great color on the Ascocentrum. I don't think any of my Vanda types are in spike now. Phals and Dens are spiking for me at the moment. Bree, both are beauties but I am especially fond of the Claudebec cross.

 on the caudebec x.Ascocentrum christensonianum is wonderful! |
Name: Ursula Fair Lawn NJ, zone 6b |
Specimen you say.... thanks!  About the C. Caudebec x Lulu - it is registered/ listed as Cattleya Caudabec Candy, but perhaps that might be C. Caudebec Candy. ( e instead of a) . Kathy might be able to look it up for us? http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... |
Name: Kathy Western MA boojum Feb 1, 2012 8:58 PM CST |
| Yes it's C. Caudebec 'Candy'. |
Name: Ursula Fair Lawn NJ, zone 6b |
| Thanks Kathy. But without '...', right? |
Name: Kathy Western MA boojum Feb 2, 2012 4:50 AM CST |
| Oops. There was either an error on the photos in OrchidWiz or there is a C. Caudebec 'Candy' that isn't a cross. I did the cross now and it is C.Caudabec Candy with an a, as you originally posted. |
Name: Ursula Fair Lawn NJ, zone 6b |
| So the RHS didn't misspell! That's a good thing. Bree, your pretty hybrid has a name: C. Caudabec Candy. |
Name: bree North coast NSW Australia bree Feb 2, 2012 1:43 PM CST |
Thanks guys! Yeah sorry i should have added there names...this yellow one is called Rlc. Kat E- Sun. |

| Hey can someone tell me what came first Cattleya Aclandiae, C. Lulu or C. Caudebec, which is the cross of which? Surely at least ones in the others. I think my orchids C. Caudebec x Lulu but a friend keeps saying 'its just like Aclandiae' which is in this cross somewhere isn't it? thanks!  |
Name: Ursula Fair Lawn NJ, zone 6b |
| Cattleya aclandiae is a species, not a hybrid. One needs to look at the whole picture to see if and at what point aclandiae enters into the parentage. Cattleya Caudabec Candy is Caudebec x Cattleya Lulu as I gave already above http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... Cattleya Lulu is C. Brabantiae x Penny Kuroda http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... Cattleya Brabantiae is aclandiae x loddigesii http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... Cattleya Caudebec is Cattleya Sophia Martin x Cattleya Penny Kuroda. http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... Now the parentage of Penny Kuroda is easily tracked: http://www.orchid.or.jp/orchid... Tracking Cattleya Sophia Martin: http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... C. guttata x C. Summer Stars Summer Stars is: http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu... and so on, you can track backwards until you come to the primary cross. |
