Cattlianthe Blue Boy 'Malibu' x Rhyncattleanthe Grezaffi's Blue 'Frank'
Joe Grezaffi was known for Cattleyas, and in particular coerulea types.
Waldor Orchids purchased his collection, and has slowly been releasing plants for sale. At Dave Off's backyard sale in October 2019, I purchased 6 seedlings of the above new cross. I sold a few, and kept a few; one of these is now blooming for the 2nd time, with two inflorescences, one with 5 flowers and the other with 6. The natural spread is 13.3 cm (5.1/4").
It has not been registered yet, so I am waiting for Dave to decide whether he is going to do it.
