Cattleya Orchid Hybrid SVO10826 (Pot. Spring Prominence 'SVO 3 Red Stars' x Slc. Virginia Dickey 'Diamond Orchids' AM/AOS)

Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

Spring Prominence (Lc. Spring Fires x Pot. Hawaiian Prominence has the most intense red-coloured flowers and fantastic dark lips, they are surprisingly large too. Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) flowers twice a year in 3” pots and has sturdy stems holding 2-4 bright red flowers of superior form.  This cross is going to give us intense, dark red flower colours with even darker red lips and the inflorescences will hold 3-4 well-arranged flowers above the leaves.
