Catasetum Orchid 75mm Seedling SVO11067 (Ctsm. Penang 'Doubloons x Ctsm. Chuck Taylor 'SVO Sunshine')
Hybrid seedling plant in a 75mm pot.
These are deciduous plants in their dormant phase(see photo).
We first offered this successful hybrid in 2015. Ctsm. Penang (Ctsm. Susan Fuchs x Ctsm. pileatum) is responsible for producing some very successful mini-Catasetum hybrids. We predicted that crossing it with Ctsm. Chuck Taylor (Portagee Star x denticulatum) would give excellent result, and the first batch of Ctsm. Dreamboats confirmed our expectations. Ctsm. Penang ‘Doubloons’ can bloom with more than 20 large yellow flowers, and Chuck Taylor has beautiful flower colour and blooms 2-3 times each season. With this hybrid, we expect large flower size with only a modest increase in plant size. The flowers will have wide, full lips and bloom 2-3 times a season, with flowers that will range from yellow to yellow and pink and a few will be burgundy. This is a very robust growing cross with superior vigour.
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.

Keep in mind that each cross has its own unique characteristics, so some plants may be smaller than others.
