Species seedling plant in a 100mm pot. Near flowering size. Cross made by Fred Clarke, Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parent of this cross. The following description was written by Fred and details the expectation of this hybrid. 

The perrinii ‘Ruben’s 25’ flowers with 25 blooms and ‘SVO 18’ with 18 flowers, both are siblings. These two plants have exceptionally high flower counts and for a species that usually blooms with 8-9 flowers, this is more than twice the expected bloom counts. When unusually high flower counts appear, it is often best to self the plant, but in this case, we made a sibling cross, because the ‘SVO 18’ had a significantly better shape and large lip, (unfortunately, I did not take a picture ‘SVO 18’).  There are excellent mounted or in a hanging basket, they grow well with the heat and humidity of summer and prefer to keep their roots dryer in winter.  This is a must-have for you Cattleya species collectors.
