Some additional provenance at the end of this entry regarding the rumored 'giant' warscewicziis of the past in
The Cattleyas and Their Relatives Vol. 1 by Carl L. Withner.
Of note:
- 'Firmin Lambeau' can now be bought from Waldor as a virus-free mericloned seedling.
- I think that the giant 12-inch warscewicziis likely tended towards the description at the end- that they probably weren't giant round flowers, but rather starry ones.
- Would be interesting to figure out which nursery (Vacherot et Lecoufle?) the old hybrid was from, or what its identity was (surely there can't be that many french cattleya hybrids?).
