Species native to India, Burma and Thailand. An amazing orchid with one of the closest flower colors to true blue! This is an exceptional tetraploid (4N) cross, line-bred for 6 generations by Orchids Limited. When in bloom, this orchid shows off deep purple-to-blue flowers that span 4" to 6" across. To make matters more interesting, the colors intensify from a pale purple to a rich indigo over the course of 10 days. Lord Rothschild's variety was described in the late 1800's in The Orchid Album:
"This is without a doubt the finest dark colored variety of this, the Queen of the East Indian Orchids that we have of yet the good fortune to see. The sepals and petals are much broader … and of greater substance, the ground color being cobalt blue, distinctly and beautifully reticulated with deep ultramarine-blue: the lip is also of the same deep color."
The seedling size is expected to be blooming size within 2 to 3 years. To promote the fastest progress, grow in warm temperatures, bright light, and high humidity. These plants are from our 6th and 7th generations of line-breeding. The orchid you receive may have had some leaf tips trimmed to reduce tip dieback at the seedling stage. We will pull the best possible plant for your order!
