Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

Star Fire (Lc. Trick or Treat x Pot. Rubescence) is an impressive sight! The seven well-supported red flowers have good shape and ruffled lips in darker red. Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) is quickly becoming a notable breeder (you see it mentioned many times in this listing) It flowers twice a year and occasionally 3 times, in 3” pots, it has sturdy stems holding 3-4 bright red flowers of superior form. This style of breeding is directed toward producing flat flowers of intense red colors from sturdy stems holding 4-5 flowers above the foliage all from a small plant 6-7” tall. 

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.
