Encyclia (Mem Alberto Mulas x hanburyi) Colorful sprays of showy blossoms are on prominent display from this
Encyclia hybrid. These gently ruffled flowers have a mahogany color a tinted overlay of either burgundy or copper, and each has a showy pink lip. The deep coloration and larger flower size come from
Encyclia Memoria Alberto Mulas (
Encyclia adenocaule x
Encyclia alata) and the coppery hues and pink lip are from
Encyclia hanburyi.
In full flower these first-bloom seedlings may stand up to 18 inches tall, but we expect mature plants' flower stems to grow even taller with upright to arching spike habit. An outstanding and compact companion plant to
Cymbidiums and outdoor
Laelias.
Established blooming-size seedlings. 'Seedlings' are the offspring of pollination; as siblings they may be very similar, yet each seedling is unique and no two seedlings are identical in precise color or shape.
Temperature Tolerant. July - August blooming.
