Hybrid seedling plant in a 75mm pot.
These are deciduous plants in their dormant phase(see photo).
Ctsm. Double Down (Ctsm. Chuck Taylor x Ctsm. kleberianum) ‘BPYL’ is named for its Black Petals and Yellow Lip; its excellent colour plus 15-17 flowers on a stem blooming twice a year make this a good candidate as a parent. Valerio Padilla (Ctsm. Melana Davison x Ctsm. Isobel's Sunshine) has flowers with a fantastic colour contrast, deep burgundy petals, and sepals with a bright yellow lip. When both of these plants are blooming the flower colour draws you in for a closer look, even if you were across the greenhouse! That’s what inspired the making of this cross. The progeny from this mating will bloom with dark almost black petals and sepals, contrasted with bright yellow frilly lips. Plus, plants will flower with 15-20 well-arranged blooms 2-3 times a season
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.
