Customer Reviews

Cattleya trianae 'Cashen's' FCC/AOS is widely considered one of the most important and high-quality breeding clones of the species in recent history. This highly sought-after, tetraploid (4N) orchid is famous for its exceptional form, large flower size, and distinct genetics. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Key Characteristics

The Flowers: Large, fragrant mid-winter blooms reaching up to 15–20 cm across. They feature pinkish-lavender sepals and petals highlighted by striking purple flares across the tips. The lip is a contrasting deep crimson or dark lavender with a rich yellow throat. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Growth Habit: A robust, large-sized epiphyte featuring grooved, shiny yellow-orange pseudobulbs and sturdy single apical leaves. [1, 2, 3]
Award History: Originally produced by Fennell's Orchid Jungle as a cross between C. trianae 'Mary Fennell' HCC/AOS and another premium select parent. It was awarded a highly prestigious, 91-point First Class Certificate (FCC) by the American Orchid Society (AOS) in 2005 when exhibited by William Rogerson. [1]

Core Breeding Significance

Its genetics are prized because the desirable "splashes" and flares on the petals reliably carry forward into its offspring. Breeders frequently use 'Cashen's' for selfing, sibling crosses, and complex hybrids to inject superior shape, heavier substance, and vibrant color patterns into new generations of Cattleya. [1, 2, 3]
