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. :-)))

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.

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? Bob 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.
