Sl. Pink Diamond

Orpetii (Soph. coccinea x L. pumila) 'Hidden Treasure 4N’ is an awarded cultivar from the breeding of Alan Koch at Gold Country Orchids. Its dark purple-red flowers are as wide as the plant is tall! It’s a vigorous grower, flowers twice a year, and the plant develops multiple leads easily. This cultivar of Soph. wittigiana is the best grower, most reliable bloomer and has excellent shape, it has to be one of the best examples of this species. The flowers of Pink Diamond have all the charm of the Sophronitis species and are easy to grow and flower in a wide range of conditions.
