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

This cultivar of Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) is particularly good. Its inflorescence supports 5-7 bright white flowers, the wide petals have a yellow spot centrally and red tips, and the red-purple lip with a yellow throat, it’s an eye-catching colour combination. Slc. Angel's Fantasy (Slc. Fire Fantasy x Sc. Bright Angel) is just spectacular, and the FCC/AOS award is a testament to its exceptional flower quality. As if this weren’t enough, ‘Solar Flare’ is a strong-growing plant that flowers twice a year. This hybrid combines several interesting colour elements in breeding for flared catts.  The Mari’s Magic has white flowers and Angel’s Fantasy has yellow. The flower colours of the offspring will range from soft pink to lavender, with attractive red/purple flares, and red lips. Sturdy stems will display 4-6 flowers above the foliage
