Okay, we all know about Mormodes, but how many have you grown lately? We have been diligently working on developing advanced Mormodes crosses, and they are now coming of age. Their flower colours are without comparison, and their ease of culture now rivals most Catasetums. Morm. Aftermath (Mark Mills x Midnight Hooker) was a breakthrough in flower colour, I hadn’t seen an orchid flower with this colour before now! Morm. hookeri is one of my favourite Mormodes species, it has a very dark red flower with a textured lip reminiscent of black velvet – very unusual. From this cross, we are expecting the unexpected… with flower colours. Will the neon orange and spots of Aftermath prevail, or what about the possibility of the velvety lip of hookeri? This is one of those “We’ll have to wait and see” crosses, and I am trying to patiently wait!
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.
