Lc. Hanna’s Dream

White flowers with red lips or semi-alba flowers always get my attention, the white against a red lip is so dramatic!  Magic Melody (C. Tokyo Magic x C. Melody Fair) has great color in addition to the red lip, the petal tips have red flares and this all on a strong inflorescence that holds 5 flowers.  Johanna Rose (Lc. Melody Fair x Lc. Liptonii) is a truly beautiful flower, with exceptional shape, size, color, and presentation. It’s amazing to realize that in the ancestry of Johanna Rose you find L. anceps as a parent the Liptonii is (L. anceps x C. labiata).  We believe this cross will give us fantastic semi-alba flowers, expect amazing shape with wide, well-rounded petals, and 4-6 flowers on gracefully arching inflorescences. This is really nice.
