Bright Red Bloom from SVO for Christmas
This is a first bloom seedling from Fred Clarke at Sunset Valley Orchids (from 2014 release, I got carried away - again).
RTH Elaine Taylor 'Krull Smith' FCC/AOS x RLC Rubescence 'SVO' AM/AOS
Photo shows the first flower to open. The upper part of the lip is open (like Elaine Taylor 'KS'). The sides are not symmetrical, so I did not bring it along for judging last week.
The second flower has opened now, the sides of the lip are symmetrical, so it is not a permanent flaw. Also, in the second flower the lip does not curl back as much.
Altogether, a nice Christmas present.
