C. Chocolate Drop

Chocolate Drop (C. guttata x C. aurantiaca) is one of those iconic hybrids - a good grower with great flowers. All the long-time orchid growers remember the cultivar ‘Kodama’. Our plant of ‘SVO’ is a chance tetraploid, and selfing it will produce nearly identical progeny that look just like the mother plant. The flowers will be fragrant waxy reds with red lips in heads of 15 or more. qualities, Chocolate Drop hasn’t been too available recently, so we’re doing our best to make it popular again!

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.
