1st bloom seedling - unusual color
This is a Fred Clarke hybrid blooming for the first time. Parentage is (RLC Golden Circle 'PPRL' x SLC Cosmic Delite 'SVO' HCC/AOS).
In daylily circles, it would be called a Bi-Color (orange sepals & red/pink petals and lip). It has very well shaped petals, so I will probably take it in for AOS judging when it blooms with more flowers.
For now, I have pollinated it with a deep red/crimson compact Cattleya (RLC Hawaiian Prominence 'Hawaii'). I posted a photo of that one last week.
