Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Mini Blue Star (Lc. Mini Purple x Lc. Cornelia) blooms with big 5” coerulea flowers and darker coerulea lips on plants just 6-7” tall. Indigo Valentine (Lc. Indigo Love x C. Valentine) has large 5” flowers with superb, large, dark-blue lips with the plants standing 8” tall. What do we expect from this cross? Improving flower dark coeruela colour and blue lips, increasing the possibility for 3-4 blooms while keeping the plant size down to be flowering size in 4” pots. This has great potential!
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.
