Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube. 

Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has been in our breeding program for over 20 years and created many successful crosses. Just recently, I realized how good a parent it is: dominant for flaring, flat petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth. 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. This cross is expected to be the first in a new class of flared mini-Catts, with flowers having the traditional flared look on smaller plants. Sturdy stems will hold 3-4 flowers in colours of red and red/rose with yellow splashed petals. 

Imported Seedling from Sunset Valley Orchids, USA. The picture shows the parents of this cross. The above description details the expectation of this hybrid.
