Lc. CANHAMIANA, ALBERTS’ VARIETY 
The plant of Le. Canhamiana, Alberts’ variety is unusually robust, bears large 
flowers every spring, medium dark lavender with a very large, intensely dark lip. 
Alberts’ variety is a lavender Canhamiana and should not be confused with our white- 
colored lip Le. Canhamiana alba. 
In 1920 we grew about 2000 plants of Lc. Canhamiana from seed. At that time 
they were considered above average, but lacked shape that would meet present-day 
requirements. Anticipating this, we chose the seven most outstanding plants for breed- 
ing. These were the first spring hybrids which resembled dark fall flowering hybrids. 
Out of the seven, one yielded such excellent results that it was tested again on three 
different crosses. The results are outstanding. This particular parent is Le. Canhamiana 
Alberts’ variety. The seedlings offered below are bred from this plant. 
Regardless of the other parents used, the offspring flower late March, April and 
May. They are robust growers and free-flowering upon maturity. The record for 
flowers, so far, is 28 blossoms on one Lc. Nellie Cohen in a 7” pot. The results are 
the finest of the modern spring flowering hybrids.
