Rlc. George King 'Serendipity' inquiry
Hello everyone,
After spending days searching on the net, I couldn't any vendor selling the George King 'Serendipity'. Can you suggest me a name? Greatly appreciated!

I bought one from Cal Orchid last summer. It is still listed in the catalogue on the website:

Waldor Orchids got one. And probably Sunset valley orchids has it too.
Try Carmela also....I got mine(Souther Cross) from them at a show last year.
If you are interested in cross-
Clown alley also has a cross with this one...but I see not pics of flower.
Carter and Holmes has a cross with George King 'Serendipity' .

Hi Silken,
Cal Orchid was at the SOOS Summerfest in Toronto last August and I preordered it for the meeting. It is one, if not my favourite, cat cross. Hopefully you get your hands on one too.

Waldor no longer has it (out of stock). I often visit Clown Alley but I am not interested in the cross. Anyway, thank you .

There is one on Ebay, Buy It Now for $17.99 + shiipping, for a BS plant in 4" pot.
There is only 1 plant left in that listing, which is from a wellknown grower.

The flower color seems not right to me. I expected it to be a salmon one instead of a peach one. I learned from recently thread on OB discussed color variation of the George King 'serendipity' that the new clone has "pinker" color while the old clone has salmon tone. I will be patient to find the old clone, though. Anyway, thanks a lot ^^.
