Cattleya Memoria Hilda Luna

[Djthomp28]

I am a sucker for spotted Cattleya. This is an SVO cross of Leoloddiglossa x schilleriana using coerulea parents. It will be nice to see this one mature over time. I am posting in case others have this cross.

less coerulian than i might have expected

Nice. How big do you expect it could get?

Lovely! Very interesting colors.

Thanks all. The colors are hard to capture. They are a little paler in-person.

@monocotman I am thinking it will end up about the same size as Mareeba Tiger so about 16-18 inches (41-46 cm) tall.

Ok so not too big. I look forward to seeing the mature plant in bloom.

The schilleriana brings down the size to be manageable outside of a greenhouse. However it will be on the top end of manageable for me.
