Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

Golden Circle (Blc. Goldenzelle x Slc. Circle of Life) is one of my most reliable breeding plants as it is dominant to impart size, shape, colour and twice-a-year blooming habit. What does ‘OPRL’ stand for? It’s the abbreviation for Orange Petals Red Lip.  Magic Melody (C. Tokyo Magic x C. Melody Fair) has great colour in addition to the red lip, the petal tips have red flares and this all on a strong inflorescence that holds 5 flowers.   This is an unusual colour combination, so what’s the logic here? This cross is about soft peach and salmon colored flowers with excellent shape , dark red lips and 3-4 well displayed flowers. A wise many once said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” Yes, these could be great.

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.
