Blc. Fortune, three cultivars ? (197707H4_11)

Blc. Fortune ? , three cultivars, July, 1977. Kay had several cultivars of Fortune, usually not explicitly identified in her slides. The threeplants shown here match single photos taken about the same time. On the left, possibly Fortune 'Spellbound' (attested in other slides in Kay's collection), middle perhaps 'Golden Throne', and on the right, another plant, although it could pass for an extreme example of 'Golden Throne' — and in fact, the second flower of that inflorescence appears to have much more red in the lip. Below, one of Kay's Cattleya trianae 'Blue Bird' F3 seedlings.
