Cattleya Cruella

Cattleya Cruella is a newer primary hybrid combing two fantastically dark species, Cattleya (Laelia) tenebrosa and Cattleya tigrina. Expect clusters of medium-large dark red to red-brown flowers with purple lips. We don't have any pictures of this cross yet but there are plenty at Orchidroots and they are all spectacular.

Please note that the dark spots on new leaves are NOT a health issue, this is normal pigmentation from the Catt. tigrina parent and it fades out to green as the leaf matures.

Seedlings in 2.5" pots.
