Hello All, Does anyone have information on a source for this older/old (I now, given my own state, need to classify it as such...) Cattleya-type hybrid? This was my first hybrid tropical orchid acquisition (I was probably about 12-14 years old at the time) - it came from a personally-transfixing orchid nursery near Tallahassee, Florida; my great-aunt had taken me there after a botanical visit to Prof. Ward of FSU (another transformative story...) where I was completely flipped out by the presence of the green fly orchid (Epidendrum conopseum - now E. magnoliae), one of my Holy Grails of orchid observation. (the list started long ago, with Cypripedium acaule being the magical initiator).
In any event, I chose Lc. Little Amy from among many strongly appealing plants [(my great-aunt was going to buy one for me, and I was going to mow her lawn - an excellent deal :=)] As you might infer from my note, Lc. Little Amy long ago succumbed to disease (some sort of rot). I think that it would be interesting to acquire she/he/it again, if possible. If you know of a source, please let me know.
