Myrmecatavola Tiger Lily

This hybrid has a fitting name, as its color pattern resembles that of the common tiger lily (Lilium). Its flower spikes are shorter than those of the Myrmecophila parent, but their clusters of blooms create a distinctive presentation compared with most Cattleya hybrids. The flowers open orange and gradually fade to yellow as they age. We have seen mature plants produce up to 18 flowers on a single spike!

These are very easy to grow and are offered as established seedlings in bark mix. We expect the earliest plants to begin flowering in summer 2028, with the remainder blooming by 2029.
