Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: Capsule parent is a coerulea with a very frilly lip. Pollen parent is pink with a broad magenta lip. Both plants are relatively compact.

Pod parent plant: Extremely vigorous and floriferous plant was acquired as "acquinii var. coerulea x sib", but did not bloom out with splash petals. The flowers do have the coerulea coloring. Because the acquinii type is presumably in the background, some of the offspring of the selfing might have splashes. Medium-sized plant.
