Cattleya Orchid SVO10884 (Slc. Seagulls Apricot 'Choice Morsel' x Sl. Minipet 'Giant Sophro')
Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. Slc. Exotic Red Extreme
The flower colour of Seagulls Apricot (Slc. California Apricot x Soph. coccinea) is a unique, intense orange-red. The flower shape is very full, and the plants are small, standing about 5” tall. Minipet (Sl. Orpetii x Soph. coccinea) looks almost like its Soph. coccinea parent, with red, flat, round flowers on a plant barely 4” tall. This mini-Catt will have very flat, intensely coloured orange-red flowers, shaped like a super improved, easy-to-grow Soph. coccinea.
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.
