Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

We have been impressed with the overall quality of Mem. Alida Laboy (Slc. Virginia Dickey x Pot. Rubescence).  Its shapely, bright red flowers are well held, and the plant flowers twice a year in 3” pots. Circle of Life (Lc. Culminant x Soph. coccinea) is an excellent breeder; you will see it used quite a bit in our breeding this year.  ‘Red Halo’ is known for imparting wide, flat petals, good overall shape, and rich colour.   The results of this mating will be shapely, solid, dark red flowers.  The plants, when mature, will be perfect for 4” pots.

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.
