Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

The parents of Mini Purple are (C. walkeriana x L. pumila), and this plant is a tetraploid mutation found in a large group of clones flowered in Japan.  It was a real standout, with heavier substance and larger flowers with wide segments. Selfing a 4n will produce almost 100% 4n offspring with the overall quality being exceptional. This is a rare opportunity.

Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parent of this cross. The above description was written by Fred Clarke and details the expectation of this hybrid.
