Default Cnths Overbrook X Kefersteinia tolimensis

I'm sorry, the source info is missing for that item on my database. I'd say
that the flower is probably better than half way between the parent sizes.
Here's a picture showing the plant in a 5" pot for size comparison. Since
I've found this block empty on my database, I've been wracking my brain
trying to remember where I got it from. Possibly C&H in which case I'm sure
they bought it from elsewhere since 80-90% of their breeding is Catts. Sorry
I can't help more.

smaller grower than most of the other Cochleanthes and related plants I
have. The flower is comparable size but with a vibrant, ruffled lip.

Very promising. I wasn't aware this line was being pursued. If the
flowers are cochleanthes size but the plant is smaller, that's very good
news...I love the kefersteinia flowers but they are so small. And the
cochleanthes group pf plants get so large and unwieldy. Any chance
you'll remember the source of this plant?
