Abstract

A new and distinct variety of orchid, and more particularly a Laeliocattleya hybrid plant having flowers of a delicate clear pale lilac coloring. The new variety is distinctive from its parent population by its outstanding plant structure as well as its unusual coloring. The flowers are of exceptional substance (thicker and more resilient petals); they achieve perfect placement on the stem; the stem is superior in strength to the closest relatives; the flowers achieve longer bloom life; and the flower production is also superior to others of the same line of breeding.
