Smile Blc. Duckitt Beauty x Lc. Trick or Treat

I was walking around in a nursery in South Africa and came across these MASSIVE cattleya alliance plants (the plant on the picture is about 50 cm tall and that makes it my largest cattleya by far).

So much for running out of space in the greenhouse! There was just no way around the monster plants, and I had to at least have one.

It was a bit of a mixed table, many already in flower and others still developing sheaths. Many noids, and some with unreadable labels, some with more or less readable tags.

Most of the flowers I saw were some lueddemanniana look-alikes, and to be honest I'm not totally sold on that color scheme, even though the flowers are impressive.

So when I found a plant with the tag that I think/guessed/interpreted to say 'Blc.Duckitt Beauty x Lc.Trick or Treat, I grabbed it.

I had no idea how Duckitt Beauty looks, and internet searches have not made me wiser. (I suspect it is a South African hybrid from Duckitt nursery).

I did of course know Trick or Treat and was hoping the flowers would go towards peach/orange/red.

I've been crossing my fingers while the buds have been developing and it looks like it actually worked!

It's always nice when the colours on something you don't know and can't adequately research come out "right"!

Incidentally, I tried commenting on your blog, but it always comes up with an error about invalid codes.

Love the color and the planter. Was it sold this way or did you repot?

Thank you Silken!

That IS just perfect! No wonder I like these colors so much. They just speak to me on so many different levels, I suppose. For a while I used to work at a small research station in the Namib Desert. I've seen my fair share of desert sunsets and sunrises, and I have to say: It's a good name that really fits!

I just had to attach a picture to show you all!

I think my blog is ok again. It's my second blog and sometimes suffer from neglect and...well, to be honest with you, abuse. Wopsi. That's what it's like to be administrated by someone who knows just enough codes to be lethal!

But I've got my anti-spam up and running and hopefully there wont be need for the code crap thingy anymore.

My orchid has a name: Rth.(Blc.) Namib Sunset. Like silken just said: How perfect is that?! I should start to breed these guys for commercial purposes.
