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

Magic Melody (Lc. Tokyo Magic x Lc. Melody Fair) is a very impressive plant and flower, the blooms are pure white with beautiful velvety crimson lips and the lateral sepals have a touch of yellow, the stem is very strong easily supporting 5-7 well arranged, large flowers. Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) has good stems supporting 5-6 bright white flowers with splashed petals, yellow centrally and red at the tips, and the red-purple lip with a yellow throat.  I am really looking forward to this one! Flowers should be bright white, and the petals will be flared in red, many with yellow centres, and crimson-red lips with yellow throats. The robust and compact plants will produce 5-6 well-arranged flowers on a sturdy inflorescence.  Very nice!
