Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

Purple Doll (Slc. Pink Doll x Lc. Mini Purple) has flowers with an amazing, intense magenta-purple colour. It blooms 2-3 times a season with flowers of excellent shape on a small plant. Sacramento Rose (Lc. Mini Purple x L. alaorii) was a novel development in breeding with L. alaorii. Plants are small, bloom 2-3 times a year, and have flowers with a nice purple colour.  There are some crosses that I can hardly wait to see bloom, and this is one of them! These will have flat flowers with deep, rich magenta-purple colours on plants just 6” tall and will flower several times a year.

Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parent of this cross. The above description was written by Fred Clarke and details the expectation of this hybrid.
