Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot. Near flowering size.

Tokyo Magic (Lc. Irene Finney x L. briegeri) has yellow flowers with a red lip and is a great breeder that has produced many successful hybrids. Tokyo Magic imparts attractive shape, strong stems, and compact plant habit. Aussie Sunset (Lc. Fires of Spring x C. Gene May) has a red-orange flower and yellow splashed petals, with clusters of 4-6 blooms held nicely above the foliage.  With this cross, there is great potential for yellow/orange flowers with yellow and red flares. Plants are good growers and will produce 7-9 flowers on a strong upright stem. 

Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parent of this cross. The above description was written by Fred Clarke and details the expectation of this hybrid.
