The pots of baby catts from HD are thriving. I also noticed several of the
pots seemed to have a tangle of catts, not just one. I carefully pried one
pot-full apart last night and ended up with 6 baby catts. :-) The name is
BLC Greenwich "Elmhurst" /green 6-20-05. Can someone tell me how and or
where to look this orchid up? What does BLC mean and the word "green" with
the date? I assume Greenwich "Elmhurst" is the name of this catt?!?!?!?!

I have another 2 pots to seperate. I think I'm going to end up with a lot of
plants when I'm finished. :-)))

I Googled the name.... and SURPRISE!!!!!!!!! Also, looking even closer at
the others, almost every pot has 2 or more baby catts. I'm going to be busy
repotting this evening.

Brasso-laelio-cattleya. It's a tri-generic cross involving a brassia,
a laelia and a cattleya.

Somewhere on line there's a list of all accepted orchid genera
names(including multi-generic hybrids) and their abbreviations.

Thanks. I didn't know that's what that meant. So far all of them are doing
so well on the front porch despite the abnormal heat we're still suffering
here. I haven't made up my mind to keep my orchids in the sunroom or the
new larger greenhouse.

I'll see if I can find it. I seem to be catching....... GASP! ......
orchid mania!

I thought BLC was Brassavola x Laelia x Cattleya - not Brassia?
I would also hazard a guess that 'green 6-20-05' is the date the green
pod was harvested? Or maybe when seed from a green pod was sown?

PS - Finally, the Paph. primulinum is spiking. Waited years for it.
Kept moving it into brighter light. Have also been repotting into
fresh bark about once a year. Still having trouble with a
Dendrochilum glumaceum(?) - just getting it to grow is a challenge.
Lost all the leaves, over time. Kept watering as needed and it
started four new growths. We'll see how long they last.

Hey, Bob,

You were quick to pick that up. I read it and it went right by. TMF, Bob is
correct about the Blc. hybrid.

BTW, my --Dendrobium lanyaiae-- is blooming nicely.

would not be pretty.
