C. kerrii
(C. kerrii 'Mother's Day 2N' x C. kerrii 'Pink Leprechaun' 4N)
This is a rarely seen Cattleya species. They look like mini-growing C. harrisoniana…well, almost. Soft pink flowers with white lips on plants that mature at 6-8” tall and produce nice heads of 4-6 blooms. The cultivar ‘Mother’s Day’ blooms reliably for Mother’s Day, and ‘Pink Leprechaun’ has exceptionally full-formed flower for the species. These are well worth the addition to your collection, but be aware that they sold out quickly last time.

SVO 9673 NEW
(L. anceps 'Gigas Flair' x L. anceps 'Ultimo')
‘Gigas Flair’ parents are 'SVO Flair' x 'Gigas'. Both parents are diploid and were wild collected years ago. For a diploid, ‘Gigas Flair is outstanding, the wide petals are to die for! ‘Ultimo’ is a 4n and needs little introduction; it was popularized by Cal-Orchid and sired many fine cultivars. This combination is designed for improved flower shape and color, with wide petals, dark colored flowers and a bit of darker flaring on the tips of the petals. Expect mature plants to produce 4 and possibly 5 flowers.

SVO 9537 NEW
(Aslla. gigantea 'Nelspruit' x Aslla. gigantea 'Dark Warrior')
‘Nelspruit’ is also a new addition from Afri-Orchids noted breeding lines; it has an outstanding flower count, heavily branched inflorescences and flowers with nearly solid color, with just a little yellow showing through. Of special note is the dark color on the side of the lip, which is rare in Ansellias. Could ‘Nelspruit’ be the key to unlock and develop sold dark flower color? ‘Dark Warrior’ has massive flowers, wide segments and coalescing boldly colored spotting with a branching upright inflorescence. This pairing is targeting for nearly solid dark colored flowers, and lots of them!
