Two Presents and two species

October 16, 2005

Yesterday Carlos Garcia Esquivel came to visit my orchid room. This is
truly an honor. Carlos is a retired medical doctor who is incredibly
knowledgable about orchids. So much that he has a few named after him and has written nuemeorus artcile about orchids.!
He is also an amazingly nice and gentle person. He brought me as
presents the two Cirrhopetali shown below in the second row. We had a
great time talking about orchids for four hours last night.

Cattleya Lueddemanniana Clint McDade x Raga, a cross of two of this beautiful Venezuelan species.

Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann on the left, the whiskers make the flowr
26-28 cm. in length. On the right a hybrid, I will look up the name
later today.

Cattleya Intermedia Periolata from Brazil.
