Lcn. Jewell's Splendor

(LC. Molly Tyler ‘Black River’ AM/AOS x Schom. splendida)

‘Black River’ is an extraordinary awarded clone of Molly Tyler. It has large bouquets of well-shaped dark lavender-purple 4” flowers that appear well above the foliage. The dark brown, deeply-saturated flowers of Schomburgkia (Laelia) splendida bloom on top of tall, stately spikes. The resulting unique hybrid will produce clusters of many large dark purple flowers on upright spikes with some of the Schomburgkia shape carrying through. Plants will be robust as both parents are vigorous growers. We are impressed with the flowers we've seen so far!
