Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
C. Luminosa
Ok, how cool is this, a Luminosa made with the rosita form of dowiana and the darkest form of tenebrosa, yep… pretty cool, and to top it off we treated the protocorms with Oryzalin induce higher ploidy in the progeny! Expect large dark red/bronze petals with the darkest purple-red lips. Can’t get much better than this.
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.
