Lc. Mahalo Jack x Slc. Angel's Pet

[Slipperhead]

Here is a first-bloom mini cattleya seedling that I bought last fall. It has grown quickly and is doing well in s/h culture. The breeder/grower tells me that he has bloomed several of these but none has the shape, color intensity, and purple-edge cream lip like this one! He recommends I bloom it again and have it judged. It has three new leads and should yield two or three buds/spike when mature. One of the first-bloom sibs of this plant had three flowers on one spike.

Best of all, he is about to register this cross as "Slc. Susan Bell", named after my kidney donor of March 03!!! I'll honor her every way possible if given the chance!!!

Enjoy!
