Lc. Prism Palette 'Christmas Candy' ? , February, 1977. Like several others from Januar and February, 1977, this slide was originally labeled as cultivar 'Christmas Candy', but Kay crossed it out and inserted cultivar name 'Kay'. However, this group of slides seems to be the earliest mention of the cultivar 'Christmas Candy'. The next two slides in the roll, nearly identical and not shown here, were also originally labeled 'Christmas Candy' and then changed to 'Kay'. The two cultivars are extremely similar and possibly indistinguishable. There are later slides clearly labeled 'Christmas Candy', and this cultivar is also mentioned in later catalogs from Stewart's Orchids.
