A ‘classic’ early Butterfield hybrid and one of the most charming and dainty Pleione ever bred. Small flowers of a vibrant rich purple are held on a tall stem and are of a colour intensity equalled by few others, the lip is beautifully marked in red and yellow. An antidote to some of the big and blousy hybrids of today.
