Just amazing in the amount of blooms that they can give. You did a fabulous job showcasing and proving information on this phenomenal orchid! Thanks...now I've gotta get one for myself! YEEEEEAAAAAYAAAAA!
I am new to your channel and really enjoyed the simple to follow steps for care of this beautiful cattleya. I live in Lake Worth, FL and recently purchased mine from Krull- Smith at the 2022 Tamiami International Orchid Festival in Miami-Dade County, FL. Their selection and obvious care for their plants made this slightly more expensive purchase worth it. I am never disappointed with anything they grow. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos.
Carlos, Thanks for the great info! I just purchased a Cattleya leopoldii f. coerulea from SVO and am so excited! Can’t wait to see that gorgeous bloom! Love your videos!! Blessings...
Another well presented video! Thanks for the information and the introduction of a beautiful species. Love those bunch of buds ready to burst into gorgeous blooms! Thanks for sharing.
One More Thing, some of the plants shown in the video are more that 15 years old! Gotta Love Mother Nature 🍃😍 Also, Special Thanks to Fred Clarke of SVO for allowing me to film his Collection!
Amazing beautiful species no matter what name you use! Wonderful video, so detailed and enticing visually . Thank you for introducing this beautiful Cattleya to me. Great job!!! Look forward to more of your videos, thank you.
Another great video on bifoliates!😃😃 I love that you kind of went with the ‘extremes’. One video featuring the smallest and this vid for one of the largest. Nice contrast;) I picked up my first ones from SVO last winter (2 of each color forms) and they are doing so well. I’m going to really enjoy watching these grow into the big mama jamas that they are meant to be. I need to keep an eye out for an alba form now!
One of my faves! I want one but holding out for a larger plant. Man alive those are so beautiful! I had to edit this, they're all awesome, but the coerulea tigrina is just killin it for me...lol
Yeah I see what you mean, especially since they take a bit longer to bloom :P My fave is the alba variety and also the coerulea one because it looks so strange LOL. You don't like the coerulea?! D: haha
Well done!! Probably the most thorough description of the species I have ever heard. Especially the history of the name confusion (I still tend to call it guttata). Do you mind if I give you a mention in one of my future videos?
Thanks Wade, I hope you enjoyed it! Don't worry, it happens to all of us, I've done that! 😁 And it would be an honor to be mentioned by you, I don't mind at all. Thank you!
Hi Carlos! We met at Tamiami 2019 and I get lots of stuff from SVO. I have a Q. I have a leopoldii (4N) x dowiana seedling about 3 in. and I'm wondering if you would suggest mounting it or if it would prefer being potted as it grows older?? (S. Florida) Thanks again for all the great content!
Hola greetings from Germany. I recently acquired a leopoldii coerulea. I have it in SH but got a dry layer on the top (I have a fan working the whole day) I did repot it when I got it and it is growing a new growth. She is growing the new shoot but the PB are shriveled. I added a layer of Spag moss to the top because one root dried out. my question since I do not see roots developing. When can I expect new roots? once the new PB is done growing? Note: humidity 70% Light South window second best light after Vanda. water once a week with fertilizing (flushing once a month) Spag,moss wet when dried. thanks for your advice
Hey Ana DAnaya! Your C. tigrina will begin to produce roots once the new pseudobulb matures. Shrivelled pseudobulb can be a sign of over watering as well as underwatering, how did the roots look like when you reported your plant? Did it have healthy live roots or no? If you'd like to send me pictures of your plant in SH, you can do so @ the.orchid.geek@gmail.com Thanks for asking!
thank you for your reply. The roots were very poor (only 4 ) from the new PB all others were dead. After moving it to SH one of the 4 roots dried out (so strange) so now it has 3 roots that i hope will survive until the new grow is fully developed. the new growth is opening the 2 leaves (so cute)! thank you for your email contact that I will use to send you some pictures this weekend. Peace ;) and thank you
I have it in SH and the new growth is opening the new leaves so I do not want to mess up again with the roots :) so I can only show you a photo of the plant , OK?
In the beginning of Orchid Culture Royal Gardeners planted Orchids in dirt available for normal gardening and of course failed. The Royals wanted to know WHY these idiots failed when they succeded in regular Gardening so sent other expeditions SPECIFICALLY to study where they were growing and what conditions they grew in. Thus began the race to gain the Orchids of the world in the culture they grew in for the Royal Houses of Western European Culture and was considered to be the utmost in High Society for whichever HOUSE had the greatest collection. This battle continues even unto this day with not Royal Houses competing but individual growers seeking success of new Hybrids. This is how the PEOPLE subjugated the Royals and gained recognition in Orchid growing Society and still do to this day. Only now every culture fights to create Orchid dominance. The Truth is we should all forget the Royals and their pretend dominance and grow to Have Life, and Have it More Abundantly, we do not need permission to create BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful Cattleya!
Just purchased a C. leopoldii/tigrina v. alba ....after drooling over Fred's collection :) (IF) I can keep it alive... I'll buy a coerulea form next.
I am new to your channel but I really enjoyed your videos.
Wow, so many different variations in colour, and what a flower count. I like the green/alba types.
thank you so much for both your video on this cattleya and cattleya aclandiae !

@@anadanaya1867 I wouldn't want you to disturb the plant, a picture of the orchid would be fine. From what I am reading, it appears it should recover.
