FLOWER TEXTURE 
Flower shape, size, color and texture 
are the all important quartet on which 
orchid flowers must be judged but of 
these probably the most important is 
texture. 
Heavy, thick, texture generally 
means long lasting qualities in the 
flower particularly in Cattleyas. 
We at the Orchid Jungle have been 
searching diligently for years for stud 
plants producing high quality flowers 
of heavy texture. In this issue of the 
NEWS we have pictures of some of our 
stud plants and some of the results we 
have obtained. The first really good 
stud plants we obtained are the three 
fine varieties of C. trianaei we have 
used—varieties, Mary Fennell, Jungle 
Queen and Naranja. 
C. trianaei var. Naranja when crossed 
with the imported Ble. Alfred Mollet 
var. vivid produced the first modern 
hybrid raised in Florida, Ble. Dorothy 
Fennell. Practically all varieties of 
this hybrid a:e noted for their fine 
texture and keeping qualities (see photo 
this issue). 
The following are a few of the 
Cattleya stud plants we have which 
are remarkable for their texture: Ble. 
Dorothy Fennell (many varieties), Ble. 
Farrere, Le. Altesse, C. Amrar, C. St. 
Petersburg (many varieties). 
C. Guttata Leopoldii, BC Galatea, C. 
Belica, C. Barres, Le. Mermoz, C. 
Gigas Fennell’s var., C. Bob Betts, C. 
Clotho, C. Superba, BLC Alfred Mollet, 
B. C. Daffodil, C. Leda bronze.
