Laelia (Cattleya alaorii) x sibling
One of the very smallest species in the Cattleya family. This offering grows to only about 3"-4" tall with miniature pink/lavender blooms. Each bloom is about one inch across and stays slightly cupped after opening. These seedlings have shown darker coloring on some, so results might either be the pale pink of the photo or slightly darker shading. Laelia alaorii does extremely well when mounted on a surface that is both well textured and somewhat porous. Regardless, these will ramble about as they grow and can flower 2+ times per year.
These seedlings are Blooming Size and expected to bloom within 6-12 months. Established in 2" pots.
These beautiful plants were provided by our friends at a wholesale orchid nursery in Hawaii. Because we did not raise them in our greenhouses, we can not guarantee them to be virus free as we would our own lab grown material. Otherwise, we guarantee your satisfaction and safe delivery as with other plant purchases.
