release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
Cymbidium Piccaninny ‘Measles’ × Cymbidium devonianum is a remarkable one-off hybrid combining the spotted beauty of Piccaninny ‘Measles’ with the cascading grace of devonianum. The flowers display intricate speckling over golden-brown petals and sepals, with a rich, dark lip marked in deep burgundy and crimson tones. Each inflorescence arches elegantly, carrying a generous number of blooms that open in sequence for a long-lasting display.
This plant is a **single collector specimen**, not being sold as a flowering house plant. The flowers will be cut off before dispatch to prevent damage in transit. It represents an outstanding example of this cross and is unlikely to be repeated.
