When one asks, “what is the finest L. anceps hybrid you have ever seen?” The answer most often given is Lc. Puppy Love 'True Beauty' HCC/AOS. It was created and registered in 1970 by Ernest Hetherington, general manager and head of Stewart Orchids. Ernest Hetherington was world renowned for his ground breaking work with Cattleya and Cymbidium. He is one of the most prominent hybridizers of Cattleyas in the US.
Lc. Puppy Love is the quintessential classic American Cattleya. It is as popular and special today as it was decades ago. 3.5-inch flowers have exceptional shape, excellent substance, and wonderful fragrance. The robust plant is weather tolerant, able to withstand hot temperatures in summer and cool temperature in winter. Don’t miss this opportunity to add this fine classic Cattleya to your collection. Highly recommended.
