WITH LOVE (Linse 1957) 30" to 36". Very late. Nscap 55-19. Distinct and different from all others in the over 500 bloomed from this cross. The color is a clear shade of light to medium heliotrope, and in the center of the broad spreading falls, around and below the blue tipped yellow beard, is the most unbelievable huge, dark purple signal patch—a thing of beauty! A lovely orchid for milady—with love! It seems to me that this belongs among that lovely group produced by Clarence White, of Some Love, Nelson of Hilly, Oyez and others. However, it is twice as large, taller, and the plants are larger, somewhere in between this group and the tall bearded. Hardy, with good substance and fair branching. Took 20° below zero weather. Each, Net $25.00.
