HYBRIDS Hybrids are not our specialty, but every once in a while we will add items that we deem interesting. This page includes primary and complex hybrids alike.   Cattleya walkeriana x Sophronitis wittigiana A cross between the two compact species shown on the left. Plants will bloom while staying small and produce large hot pink to magenta flowers. NFS - 20.00   (Laelia milleri x L. cinnabarina) x Sophronitis cernua These are very nice plants and very small at mature size (less than 2" tall). Even at first blooming, plants can produce up to 3-5 flowers (that are more than 1" across) per inflorescence. NFS - 15.00   Laeliocattleya Elegans rubra A repetition of the natural hybrid between Laelia purpurata and Cattleya leopoldii. These plants were so plentiful (and variable) in nature that they were first described as a native species (Laelia elegans). Two very dark parents were used, and the result can be seen on this first blooming seedling from that batch. 5" (FS) - 25.00 TOP Conditions of Sale | Cattleya - Selected | Cattleya - Regular | Laelia - Selected | Laelia - Regular | Other genera - Brazilian | Other Genera | Mericlones | Miscellaneous - Brazilian | Miscellaneous | Hybrids | CDs HOME | Intro | About | Ongoing Projects | Price List | Botanical Illustration | Taxonomy | Brazilian Orchids | Links
