Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
One of our breeding objectives is for plants with “show stopping” solid orange flowers, and better yet, when it’s a big head of 6-8 flowers of show stopping orange. This cross combines the 5-6, large, full shaped flowers of ‘Halycon’ with the 7-9, bright orange flowers of ‘Golden Satisfaction’ the expectation is orange flowers, of good shape in a head of 6-8…on target with our goal.
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.
