Cattleya labiata tipo ‘Baby Goliath’

[DrLeslieEe]

A baby version of the ‘Goliath’ cultivar which was large (17 cm?). This particular flower has incredible shape with petals touching on top. The two petals form a tear drop at the center too.

My plant blooming in Brazil. NS 15 cm.

Lovely!

Outstaning flowers, Leslie.

Leslie, it must be polyploid? The substance looks heavy and the size and configuration are very different from a standard diploid. Is there a breeding history with ‘Goliath’?

 

[NEslipper]

Stunning! Looks very similar to ‘Goliath’, the result of a selfing perhaps?

 

[Ozpaph]

puts a few hybrids to shame

Beautiful Leslie, almost as dark as the famous cultivar 'Monarch'.
