100mm Cattleya Orchid Seedling SVO10682 (Lc. Mari's Song 'CTM 217' HCC/AOS x L. anceps 'SVO Flat Lip’)

Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot. Near flowering size. Lc.Miss Wonderful

Miss Wonderful has been a fantastic hybrid, and we remake it every couple of years. Over time we’ve used several different anceps cultivars as parents, and we have learned that making this cross with polyploid anceps leads to outstanding results. The ‘SVO Flat Lip’ might even give us better-shaped flowers as the flatness of the lip will flatten the petals more than we usually see.  These are robust plants, easy to bloom, and they produce large flowers with excellent flares on 12-18” long inflorescences. This is a proven grex that gives excellent offspring. If you don’t have at least one of these already, it’s time to add it to your collection!
