Rhynchobrassoleya Golden Tang 'Linwood' AM/AOS
Last fall I went to Dave Off (Waldor Orchids) annual backyard sale. My intention was to buy only 1 or 2 plants, but I ended up writing a significant number on my check.
This is one of the plants, a mother division of Golden Tang 'Linwood', which received a 78 pt HCC/AOS in 1995, and was upgraded to an 84 pt AM/AOS in 2016.
It is an interesting hybrid (registered in 1989 by H&R). It is:
25% Cattleya forbesii
25% Brassavola nodosa
25% Cattleya (laelia) milleri
25% complex Cattleya hybrid, stretching back to early UK breeding.
