ORCHIDS IN SEASON, 
AN inflorescence of the handsome Cattleya Adonis is sent from the collection 
of J. J. Holden, Esq., Southport, by Mr. R. Johnson. It combines the 
characters of its two handsome parents, C. Mossie and Warscewiczil, 
having the broad richly-coloured front lobe of the latter, and large rosy lilac 
sepals and petals. C. Enid is a later name for the same hybrid. A very 
large and handsome Paphiopedilum is also sent, which Mr. Johnson states 
was purchased as a hybrid with the record “insigne Harefield Hall x 
Leeanum compactum,” but no one who has seen it can find any Leeanum 
in it, and he suggests a comparison with P. i. giganteum, as figured at page 9 
of our January issue. The resemblance is certainly close, but in the one sent 
the blotches are rather smaller and more numerous towards the margin. 
We cannot, however, compare them in a living state. It may possibly be a 
case of reversion. 
Flowers of a curious little hybrid between Cattleya Leopoldii ? and 
Lelia cinnabarina g are sent by Dr. H. Goldschmidt, Essen-Ruhr, 
Germany, who remarks that the cross was made in February, 1905, and the 
seed was ripe and sown in September of the same year. It is a form of 
Leliocattleya Diogenes, but different in colour from those previously 
recorded. The sepals and petals are rosy lilac, and most like those of the 
Lelia parent in shape, while the lip is strongly three-lobed, and bright rose- 
purple, with the base of the side lobes white. The scape is two-flowered at 
present, showing that the plant is still small. It is rather curious that the 
reddish colour of L. cinnabarina is in this case practically absent. 
A remarkably fine flower of the handsome Dendrobium Lady Colman 
(Artemis x Findlayanum) is sent from the collection of Sir Jeremiah 
Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Reigate, by Mr. Collier. The petals are over 
tt inches broad, and they have an expanse of 4} inches, the colour being 
rose-purple in the upper half, becoming nearly white at the base. The 
sepals and lip are correspondingly well developed, and the narrow blotch on 
the disc of the latter is very large and deep maroon in colour. -It-is from 
the finest form of a batch of plants raised in the collection. 
A flower of the handsome Sophrocattleya Wellesleyz (S. grandiflora x 
C. labiata) is sent from the collection of Francis Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, 
Woking, by Mr. Hopkins. It measures 3% inches in expanse, and is deep 
carmine-rose in colour, with a deep yellowthroat to the lip. Another beautiful 
flower, called Cypripedium Cupid magnificum (whose parentage is not
