Catasetum Orchid 75mm Seedling SVO11265 (Cl. Grace Dunn 'Live Oak' HCC/AOS x Morm. badia 'SVO Yellow')

Hybrid seedling plant in a 75mm pot. These are deciduous plants in their dormant phase(see photo).

With this remake of Mo. Susan Wilson will have all the great qualities of a Mormodia (Mo.) with showy flowers, high flower count, multi-spiking bulbs of pendulous inflorescences, nice fragrance, and long-lived blooms.  Rebecca Northen ‘Grapefruit Pink’ produces 20 or more frilly, pink, fragrant flowers on 3-4 pendulous inflorescences from leafless bulbs in mid-winter. The revoluta has great colour and stripes on the flowers made by a series of coalesced dots forming the lines.  In breeding with these species, the Mormodes is dominant for colour and the Clowesia for shape. 

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.
