Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) is a darling mini-Catt. Plants flower twice a year in 3” pots and have sturdy stems holding 2-3 bright red flowers of superior form. Beaufort (Soph. coccinea x C. luteola) has been a highly successful parent for breeding mini and compact-sized Cattleyas. In this cross, its influence will reduce plant size and assure well-rounded flower shapes. Excellent shapely flowers on neat, compact plants, flower colours will range from yellow to red, these will be super cute. An outstanding mini-Catt hybrid.
Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. Picture shows the parents of this cross. The above description details the expectation of this hybrid.
