Cattleya Gaskelliana Blue Dragon x self

April 10, 2005

The following are two pictures of Cattleya Gaskelliana Blue
Dragon x self. Cattleya Gaskelliana is a Venezuelan species and this
was the first of its “coerulea” forms to obtain a Certificate of Merit
from the American Orchid Society in 1962. “Coerulea” refers to the
“blue” color of Cattleyas, which is actually not a true blue but more
like a blueish violet color. The lip has an extensive solid area, which
is very well defined and quite striking. It is definitely a beautiful
flower and they are big and well shaped.
