Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) is a particularly nice, flared Cattleya. It has good stems supporting 4-5 bright white flowers, the wide petals have a yellow spot and red tips, and the red-purple lip with a yellow throat, very nice. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) is a long-proven breeder of flared flowers, imparting great colour and, importantly, flat form. I am really looking forward to this one! Flowers should be bright white, the petals will be flared in red, many with yellow centres, and crimson-red lips with yellow throats. The robust and compact plants will produce 4-6 well-arranged flowers on a sturdy inflorescence. Very nice!
