LC Santa Barbera Sunset ‘Tyab’
This is LC Santa Barbara Sunset (Tyab). 75% Laelia anceps and 25% Cattleya (?j cinnabarina.
A first flowering so perhaps not at its best.
I do wish we had more of these - primary hybrids of L. anceps and whatever else can be used that doesn’t degrade the anceps hardiness. I have LC edissa (50% anceps and 50% purpurata) but have never been able to find anything else. Both are remarkably hardy and disease resistant when growing outdoors in our climate, equally as much as the anceps parent.
Are there any other primary hybrids which preserve ancep’s cold and heat tolerance? I have several big old anceps plants growing naturalised in our back yard and would like to add some variety.
Cheers
Arron
