Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Pot. Pure Love
This cross was first made by SVO in 2000. It’s amazing to think that was 23 years ago! I still have 3-4 cultivars from those original plants, and they have proven themselves to be reliable growers and bloomers. These qualities were an important motivation to make this cross again. This pairing also produced what I call a ‘High Average of Quality’, in which every plant that bloomed had good to excellent flower shape, colour and growth habit. Truly a winning combination!
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.
