Cattleya Orchid Hybrid SVO10759 (Blc. Rose Bud 'Queen of Splash' HCC/AOS x Lc. Sacramento Rose 'SVO Royal Purple' HCC/AOS)

Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

The large shapely purple flowers with purple flares of Rosebud (Pot. Ronald Hausermann x Lc. Mini Purple) make it a real showstopper. Sacramento Rose (Lc. Mini Purple x L. alaorii) blooms with dark purple flowers on a mini-Catt plant that bloom 2 and often 3 times a year.  Here we are combining the larger plant of Rosebud and the small plant of Sacramento Rose, which will give us plants about 7 to 8” tall. This is the same for flower size, a 5” flower and a 2.5” flower will give is 3-4” sized flowers. The shape will be flat with wide petals, and the colour dark purple some flared darker purple.  All in all this has a lot of potential to be very nice
