C. Mareeba Tiger (C. tigrina x C. schilleriana)
C. Mareeba Tiger is an extraordinary spotted cattleya and these seedlings are from a sibling cross with two awarded parents (‘Darth Sidius’ AM/AOS x ‘Kylo Ren’ AM/AOS. Flower form and color will be very much like the picture shown, dark and spotted, with definite award potential. We expect spikes on mature plants to hold up to 13 flowers arranged in a cluster, making an especially impressive display.
