Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
Pot. Higher Multiplier
I am a huge fan of this cross… Twelve years ago, we made the first batch of Higher Multiplier. We were very happy with the offspring as almost every plant that bloomed from that cross had excellent quality flowers in deep red. This is the exact remake. We made a second cross of Higher Multiplier where we reversed the order of the parents, keep an eye out for SVO 10655. Reciprocal crosses are fascinating as it is always interesting to see the differences of the effect between pod vs. pollen parents
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.
