A Beautiful Nodosa Hybrid - Orchid Board

Leisurely · #1 06-08-2009, 04:09 PM

This is Blc Keowee 'Newberry'. The cross is C. Lorraine Shirai x B. nodosa and it has the largest lip I have seen in any nodosa hybrid. The petal spread is 5 1/2" and the lip is 2 1/2". I have another variety 'Mendenhall' that has an AM but I think this flower is much better.

The second and third flower is Epc. Purple Glory 'Moir's Pride' AM-AOS that is similar to Epc. Middleburg that I recently posted but this flower has a much more vivid colorful. I guess it didn't get an AM for nothing.

Number four and five is Slc. Kagaribi Dawn x B. nodosa that is blooming for the first time in a two inch pot. The flower seems large for the small size of the plant and the petals open red and change to orange, to yellow.

Sorry about that Royal. For some reason, the pictures did not post to this thread. So the only thing I could think of was to delete it and re-submit a new threat which I did. As you can see, it did not delete. The pictures are on another thread with the same title if you want to check it out.

Maybe one of our beautiful and/or handsome moderators can delete this one.
