100mm Cattleya Orchid SVO11340 (Slc. Very Vermillion 'SVO' x Pot. Sylvia Wagner 'SVO')

Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot. Near flowering size. Our red compact Catt breeding has been getting a lot of attention lately, and this hybrid is going to continue to raise the standard of quality. Very Vermillion (Pot. Paradise Rose x Pot. Lebenkreis) has fantastic flower colour, size and shape, and it blooms twice a year. Sylvia Wagner (Slc. Circle of Life x Pot. Elaine Taylor) is equal in flower quality and twice a year bloomer too. Check out this prestigious list of grandparents represented in this hybrid: Oconee, Circle of Life, Toshie Aoki, Rubescence and coccinea! Each parent here is derived from distinct breeding lines, assuring the offspring will have plant vigour and the twice-a-year blooming characteristic. These will be large, velvety, deep red flowers, with marvellous shape, full ruffled lips, and well-held 2-3 per inflorescence with a plant stature of just 8-10” tall. 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.
