    I'm looking for seedlings of good quality crosses from this form of the species. Unfortunately, it appears to be among the rarest Cattleyas in the US.

    I think Floralia has an cross between 2 good forms available.
    I've never ordered from them, but I believe you can preorder plants and they will deliver to a show. They have a list of shows the attend on their homepage.

    Maybe you can email them and ask.
    Good luck

    chris -

    i ordered one of these flasks from singapore, and am happy to let you have a few when they are ready to come out of the compot, or maybe you want to get a flask of your own; they claim to be coerulea, but are really amaliae:
