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

Little Toshie (Toshie Aoki x Sc. Beaufort) has been an outstanding mini-Catt with excellent flower colour imparted from the Toshie Aoki parent and reduced plant stature from Beaufort. Love Fresh (Sc. Beaufort x L. briegeri) is a super cute miniature; the plants hold 3-4 bright yellow flowers with red lips above the foliage.  This cross started to bloom just 20 months from the flask! The flowers are super cute, they are bright yellow with red lips, supported and well-arranged 3-4 per stem.  I like this style of mini-Catt breeding Check out the second photo of one from the first batch.

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.
