Laeliocattleya Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.'

The cerise red colour of the flower is rather difficult to
capture with a digital camera

Lc. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' is a hybrid of the Laelia ancep with Cattleya Wendy's Valentine. This plant inherits the 'step-ladder' growth habit of the L. anceps mother, together with the rose colouration and rather long but thin flower stalk. Also the plant tend to form clumps, which in the tropical heat and humidity makes it prone to rot. Thus this hybrid is best potted in a very open mix or mounted on wood in hot and humid areas.
