Barrita Orchids
Cattleya Orchid SVO10320 (Pot. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' AM/AOS x Slc. Cosmic Delite 'Cosmic Splash')
Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Little Toshie (Blc. Toshie Aoki x Sc. Beaufort) 'Gold Country' is a superb grower with excellent flower quality and colour, and the compact plants bloom 2-3 times a year! Cosmic Delite (Slc. Bright Angel x Sc. Batemanniana) is the ancestor of many great flared a mini-Catts. When breeding with flared parents the lip colour is often expressed on the petals. With the cultivar ‘Gold Country’ its red lip with yellow veins is quite prominent. We are expecting this lip colouration to be expressed on the petals of the progeny. This will make for brightly coloured flowers in red and yellow all from a small plant.
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.
