As with all bulbosa hybrids, bulbosa is the dominant species in this cross.  This particular hybrid grows quite large, reaching over 12" in height.  Leaves are much thicker than true bulbosa.  Ferreyae is not a common species to come across or to see in hybrids, which I think makes this cross pretty special
