SVO 9946 (Ctsm. Portagee Star 'Brian Lawson's Sunrise' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. Dentigrianum 'SVO Excellence')

2.5" pot, Blooming Size

Notes from the breeder:

There have been many successful hybrids from Ctsm. Portagee Star (Ctsm. pileatum x Ctsm. Black Knight). It breeds offspring with large, flat lips and very full overall shape. One of its best hybrids, Ctsm. Chuck Taylor (Ctsm. Portagee Star x Ctsm. denticulatum), is very similar to this one. Ctsm. Dentigrianum (denticulatum x tigrinum) was a breakthrough in mini-Catasetum breeding. What this primary hybrid lacks in genealogical complexity it makes up for in charm, with beautifully formed flowers in white, uniformly spotted with burgundy, and a soft yellow lip with a dentate margin. This cross will make compact plants that should bloom 2-3 times per season, and the flower colors will range from yellow to darkly spotted.
