C. King George

At the turn of the century, C. Triumphans (C. dowiana x C. Rex) was back crossed to dowiana, making the grex, C. King George. Back then yellow-flowered Cattleyas were the holy grail in breeding. Here we have remade this classic Cattleya with very select parents. These will bloom with light yellow flowers and red lips veined in gold. Very collectable.

Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parent of this cross. The above description was written by Fred Clarke and details the expectation of this hybrid.
