Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

This Motte Spot (C. Cognac x C. Fort Motte) is a mutation found in a batch of clones; it has wider segments and heavier substance than the original. Blc. Durigan (Blc. Waianae Leopard x C. Corcovado), popularised by Brazilian growers, has proven to be a vigorous grower and good bloomer. Its 5-6 large flowers are boldly spotted and well presented.  With this hybrid, we’re combining two different breeding lines, which should deliver vigorous plant growth. Expect sturdy stems of 5-7 densely spotted flowers with contrasting red lips during the heat of summer, right when we all need a splash of colour.

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.
