Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot.

Pot. Cosmo-Sound
Little Toshie 'Gold Country' (Sc. Beaufort x Blc. Toshie Aoki) flowers 2-3 times a year with superb, flat, bright yellow flowers and dark red lips, and has proven itself to be a great parent. One of my favourite breeding plants is Love Sound (Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri). It imparts good flower form and colour, plant vigour, and compact growth. We are anticipating a very consistent outcome from this cross. These will be compact plants that will carry 4-5 flat yellow flowers, some having petals tipped in red, with excellent shape and red lips.
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.
