Cattleya (formerly Laelia) Zip
From SVO release in February 2022. Bought a few, the first one is blooming now (and a second plant is in high bud).
Laelia tenebrosa x Laelia milleri, or to satisfy the damned taxonomists, Cattleya tenebrosa x Cattleya milleri. Intense color.
Plant is blooming with 2 flowers on each of 2 inflorescences. The second plant has 3 or 4 flowers on one inflorescence. Previously awarded plants have up to 10 flowers on each inflorescence.
