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

Little Toshie 'Gold Country' (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) is the best cultivar of this delightful grex. It flowers 2-3 times a year with superb, flat, bright yellow flowers and dark red lips; it’s proven to be a great parent.   Pot. Lebenkreis (Pot. Rubescence x Slc. Circle of Life) has solid dark red flowers, of superb shape.  The ancestors in the breeding of this cross read like a who’s who list: Beaufort, Toshie Aoki, Rubescence, and Circle of Life! Expect shapely flowers in colours from red to rose all with dark red lips, on compact plants that will bloom twice a year.
