Most incredible digbyana mix!
 
C. luteola x B. digbyana
Digbyana is my favourite orchid and I like every mix of it that shows the frilled edges. The orchid in the link... it's the most beautiful orchid I have ever seen! It looks like a sunset. Does anyone know where I can get one like this??? I live currently in Canada, Quebec.

It appears it might be called: Bc Leprechaun Legend (C. luteola x B. digbyana)

Gorgeous bloom. I don't see it listed anywhere

The photo is from one of my friends, Mr. Wang's website. He has a lot of great orchids.

I love them, too. My favorite digby cross is Rhyncholaelia Aristocrat (glauca x digbyana). It is my avatar.

Yes, the pictures from his website are amazing! And he was so nice to write back to me immediately but unfortunately he can't send it to Canada. Still I was happy to receive an answer at all :)

From the link just erase everything after ".tw" and you will get to the homepage

Wow that is indeed gorgeous.

wrong thread...sorry

Beautiful flower! However, I am greatly mystified as to how that cross resulted in offspring with those colors. Digbyana is straight up green/chartreuse and luteola is pretty much the same color scheme with the exception of red and yellow in the throat. Hmm, is there a more colorful variant of luteola out there?

Gage 09-12-2013 12:02 PM
I was thinking the same thing, Paul.

Digbyana typically doesn't add any color to the cross, so those colors most likely came from luteola, which is a yellow with red flower. However, some redness could have been added from dibyana and you can see red on the back of the petals of many digbyanas. The flash and white balance could have added some extra color, but a lot of flowers have color in them which doesn't get expressed in the parent, but does show up when you cross them with something else.

Does seem odd but I guess I have seen other ones that I thought how in the world????? It is absolutely stunning however, I would love to have it if indeed it is that color.

Only reason I know what a luteola is because I was looking into getting one hahahha. I think it's cute.
