(Cattleya percivaliana 'Mendenhall-Summit' 4N x Laelia alaorii)

 

Hard to find primary hybrid.  Our remake was made using a tetraploid parent so these seedlings will likely be triploids (3N).  The first parent is the famous Christmas Orchid with large lavender and purple blooms.  The second species is an itty bitty grower, only about 4" tall with pale pink/white blooms. These will be very dwarf with light lavender-pink blooms. 

Plants are in 2.5" pots. Since one parent is a miniature we expect these to flower within 18-24 months.
