We were shocked to see how many plants from this cross flowered just 3 months after being planted in 3” pots out of plug trays. That’s only 14 months from flask!  Super vigorous and very quick to bloom - that’s a nice combination! Guess what? We just remade the cross! The breeding behind this grex is Snowflake (Diac. bicornutum x L. albida) with Kyoguchi (C. aurantiaca x Enc. aromatica).  We expect mature plants to have many-flowered branched inflorescences carrying well-shaped flowers in light yellow with red striped lips. There will be a slight fragrance from the aromatica in the background.
