Rosie’s Surprise (Lc. Irene Finney x C. walkeriana) is an impressive flat, soft pink flower with wide petals and a beautifully contrasting lip in white, yellow, and purple.  Lana Coryell (C. walkeriana x Sc. Beaufort) has attractive flowers in soft pink, with yellow lips with a bit of darker pink.  Flowers are well-rounded, with flat petals, and the substance is heavy, making for an attractive combination.  Dal’s Magic was bred and registered by the late David Littman of Brisbane Australia.  Several years ago, I saw these flowering at a spring show in Sydney, Australia, they all had impressive round flower shape in dark pink with yellow lips… very nice!  Believing we have missed out on acquiring the great hybrid, we remade it!
