Hybrid seedling plant in a 75mm pot.

These are deciduous plants in their dormant phase(see photo).

This Ctsm. pileatum var. imperiale was named to honour Pierre Couret, one of the founders of the Venezuela Orchid Society in Caracas. He was responsible for having this plant cloned, and thus this rare colour form is available for us to enjoy and breed with. Chuck Taylor (denticulatum x Portagee Star) ‘SVO Sunshine’ has the most beautiful yellow lip and has been a good parent, giving rise to several nice crosses. Here we are breeding the large plant and huge red flowers of pileatum to a mini-Catasetum plant. The progeny of this grex we are anticipating an improvement in overall flower size and only a modest increase in plant size of the mini-Catasetum. Flower colours will be red to pink (yes pink) with large broad lips

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.
