V. Elizabeth Taylor

Motes Orchids was asked to provide a special gift for Elizabeth Taylor. We thought this purple beauty was fitting, so we named it for her. It wouldn't be the last time a Motes hybrid was used to honor a special person: Vanda William Catherine, the orchid named in honor of Prince William and Duchesss Kate, was created using two Motes plants: V. First and Last and V. Motes Toledo Blue. Elizabeth Taylor the star has passed on, but her movies, good works, and this plant live on.
