Waxy deep red-red-violet to red-orange petals with a even more intense red burgundy lip characterizes the blossoms of C. Lutiaca x Slc. Pukalani Cherry. Flowers are held in clusters on reasonably compact plants during this first blooming. I do imagine that the plants could grow to a medium size ranging from 12" to 18" upon maturity.

Exploding with a fiery display of blossoms, during these cooler winter months makes this hybrid a welcome sight, for it's psychologically warming effect.

A hybrid we expect to have, in limited supply over a two to three year span, this particular orchid tends to grow slowly when compared to our other hybrids. It has garnered our attention this month, not necessarily for it's cultural aspects, but more for it's beautiful vivid blossoms warming our hearts as the weather cools.
