Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F)
Comments: From Troy: There is general disagreement about the varieties of C. guttata. Some would split them into different species (var. leopoldii as Cattleya tigrina, and var. prinzii as C. amethystoglossa) but others don't agree. Since this isn't settled, I'm not excluding this as a hybrid.
Parent plant: The plant is the offspring of 'Leopoldii' x 'Prinzii'. Tall bifoliate, easy to bloom, fragrant.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
620 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/26/2004 through 10/20/2006)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/20/2004 through 05/18/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 50 mm (05/18/2007)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Coastal Brazil. The habitat extends from near Guarapari in
Espírito Santo to near Paranagua in Paraná. In Espírito Santo, plants are
found from sea level along the coast to 2000 ft. (0-610 m) along rivers as
far as 75 mi. (120 km) inland. In the states of Rio de Janeiro and São
Paulo, plants are usually found below 600 ft. (180 m) along rivers or in
swampy forests. They usually grow 30-60 ft. (9-18 m) above the ground on
the horizontal branches of large old trees which overhang streams or
swampy areas. The trees on which the orchids grow are usually covered with
vines, bromeliads, and other epiphytes. Growing near water and among other
plants helps keep humidity high during the dry season. In some areas of
Espírito Santo, plants grow on northeast-facing cliffs on lichen covered
rocks and on the exposed roots of dwarf trees.
