Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm 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 big clusters of star-shaped flowers produced by Dennis Olivas (Trick or Treat x Penny Kuroda) are spectacular, and the yellow blooms with red flares really command attention. Love Fresh (Sc. Beaufort x L. briegeri) is a very cute mini-Catt with shapely bright yellow flowers and red lips. The compact plants form tight clumps of pseudobulbs with a small footprint. With this hybrid, we are breeding down the plant size while keeping the good flower attributes.  We expect that Love Fresh will transmit reduced plant size and compact growth habit, and Dennis Olivas will add good flower count, colour and stem strength.  Expect very cute, small-growing plants with showy flowers.
