Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
(Slc. Angel Eyes 'SVO' AM/AOS x Pot. Loud Nine 'SVO Best')
Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has been in our breeding program for years and has created many successful crosses. Just recently, I realized how good a parent it is, exhibiting dominance for flaring, flat petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth. Loud Nine (Pot. Rubescence x Sl. Orpetii). The flowers are exceptionally large, flat and round, and the colour is a deep intense red with a full-shaped dark burgundy red lip. These are going to be really good flared mini-Catts. They will have lots of red in the flowers, and the plants will bloom twice a year in 3” pots
