That heavy dowiana influence is the genetic backbone behind this grex’s reputation for rich, saturated color and full, well-formed blooms. The ‘Tipmalee’ cultivar stands out as one of the most consistently awarded selections within the grex, having earned AM\/AOS recognition from the American Orchid Society. As with other Cattleya alliance hybrids, it grows best in bright light, intermediate-to-warm temperatures, good airflow, and a drying period between waterings to support strong, well-textured blooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunset Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58121209020576,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/4626\/5504\/files\/A3B3E898-8FE6-4565-893E-903A0DDDE5D4.jpg?v=1782789111","url":"https:\/\/sunsettropicals.com\/products\/rhyncholaeliocattleya-alma-kee-tipmalee-am-aos","provider":"Sunset Tropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
