Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
This is a very interesting cross, many of us are aware of the 2 famous hybrids produced by L. milleri x leopoldii make Lc. Jalapa and milleri x L. tenebrosa making Zip. By crossing milleri to Issy which is the hybrid of C. leopoldii with C. tenebrosa. Getting to the interesting part …. How will the flower look? Like something in between Zip and Jalapa or totally new? You will have to get some to find out. Plants will be compact growing standing 12-14” tall
