Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

Dean’s Gold (Pot. Little Toshie x Pot. Memoria Jim Nickou) has a beautifully shaped 3”, bright golden-yellow flower with a bit of red on the lip. The plant is very compact - just 8” tall. William Farrell (Slc. Helen Veliz x Bc. Llano) is impressive, and its ancestry is a veritable who's who of Cattleya breeding in the 1950's and 60's.  'Native Son' has beautiful flowers in a soft peach, and the strong stems hold 5-6 well-arranged flowers above the foliage. Here we are expecting 4-5 light rose lavender to yellow flowers of excellent shape with full, contrasting lips. This is a very high potential cross for excellent quality flowers on a compact plant.
