Kay Francis Photo Gallery: Sl. Psyche 'Firefly'
Parentage: L. cinnabrina × S. coccinea
Current nomenclature: Cattleya Psyche (1902)
Kay's undated inventory notes she had Sc. (should be Sl.) Psyche 'Garnet Falcon', from Ben Bracey, apparently his cross number 3160 (still to be verified). She obtained cultivar 'Firefly', no source listed, on April 21, 1960. A separate record shows she obtained cultivars 'Garnet' and 'Falcon Red' from Gloria Eckles (Landamar Orchids) on April 10, 1967. She was also searching for the cultivar 'Cinnabar' but apparently did not obtain it.
