Rlc Lucky Man x C lueddemanniana var rubra is an exciting Cattleya cross combining the large, full flowers and rich color of Rlc. Lucky Man ‘Bangkok’ with the beauty and species character of Cattleya lueddemanniana.
Rlc Lucky Man is another wonderful large flowered dark purple Cattleya coming out of Rlc Norman’s Bay. The flowers are large, dark, and wonderfully scented.
C. lueddemanniana is prized for its beautifully shaped lavender flowers, richly colored lip, and wonderful fragrance. Its influence should add elegance, good form, and strong lip color to the large-flowered modern Cattleya background of Lucky Man ‘Bangkok’.
Given the powerful scent of each of the parents, these are ensured to also be scented.
Seedlings from this cross will be genetically individual, so flower color and form will vary from plant to plant. That variation is part of the appeal—each plant represents an opportunity to flower something unique.
These plants are well established in 3.5″ pot and about 2-years from blooming.
Light: Bright Cattleya light
Water: Water thoroughly, allowing the potting medium to approach dryness between waterings
Temperature: Intermediate to warm
Fragrance: Fragrance can be expected from the C. lueddemanniana influence
