C. Leoloddiglossa 'SVO Speckled Blue' FCC/AOS x Lc. Elegans 'Leviathan'

SVO 10465

3'' pot, blooming size.

Notes from the breeder:

We know from our years of experience that this type of cross will bring out spots in the progeny.  Leoloddiglossa 'SVO Speckled Blue’ has excellent shape and coerulea color, and it carries 20 or more well-presented flowers. The FCC is indicative of its high quality. There are three Cattleya species represented in Leoloddiglossa: leopoldii, loddigesii, and amethystoglossa.  Lc. Elegans (C. tigrina x L. purpurata) has large, impressive flowers over 6” across. Although only a few small spots are visible on ‘Deep Blue’, you know there are recessive spotted flower genes from the tigrina in the background.  Here we are looking for large flowers at least 5” across in coerulea with darker blue spots and slate blue lips. The robust plants will stand around 16” tall and carry 6-9 blooms per inflorescence. These will be very impressive when mature!
