Species seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
‘SVO Whopper’ is an outstanding example of the species, with large flowers, and good shape. And it’s a prolific grower and bloomer. Here we have paired it with ‘Suprema’ a new acquisition from Brazil, we believe this is the best walkeriana we have seen. The flower shape is literally “off the charts” with the largest, widest, and fullest petals. We are expecting some exceptional plants from this breeding. If you are collecting these this is a must-have.
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.
