We offer here a variety of Cattleya-alliance crosses that will produce plants of compact stature, some fairly traditional in concept, others, perhaps a bit ‘out there’! But our motto has been that you have to take a few chances to achieve something new and special. We have also brought back a few ‘oldies but goodies’ that have particular merit.
