Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
(B. cucullata '4' x self)
Our best example of this super fun species. With this cross, we have treated (t) the protocorms with oryzalin, a chemical used to produce tetraploid offspring. Some will convert to 4N - fantastic!
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.
