Morm. Nitty-Gritty 'SVO II' x Morm. Jumbo Bacia 'SVO' AM/AOS
- Description
SVO 11145 - 3'' pot, Blooming Size.
Notes from the breeder:
The late season flowering of Mormodes signals that winter is nearly here, and the bizarre colors, twisted flowers, and spicy fragrance are a welcome sight before winter arrives. The large flowers of Nitty-Gritty (Exotic Treat x rolfeana) are dark orange and densely spotted with burgundy spots. Nitty-Gritty is a highly advanced Mormodes hybrid and (unlike the species Mormodes) easy to grow. Jumbo Bacia (Morm. badia x Morm. uncia) 'SVO' is surprisingly floriferous, holding up to 37 dark maroon-red flowers with red lips on each of the two inflorescences per bulb. The plants of this new hybrid are growing really well and will produce 25-30 fragrant flowers on each of the 2-3 inflorescences per bulb when mature. Flower colors will be mostly reds, and some will come out heavily spotted. This is a highly advanced Mormodes hybrid and exhibits hybrid vigor. These grow just like Catasetums. If you have not tried growing Mormodes, this is a great starting point.
