This is a cross named in honour of the great hybridizer Gene Crocker from Carter and Holmes who helped produce so many outstanding hybrids including Oconee and MacHolmes.
A true red with a wonderful shape, measuring around 9 cm. I have seen some in AQ plus (AOS awards) with pink flowers to orange to reds. Parents are Slc. Newberry Promise 'Gene's Baby' and Pot. Newberry Delight 'Mendehall' AM/AOS...
Another great cross from the House of C&H!!
What is unique about this second bloomed seedling is that the lip is waxy, not velvety like the other awarded cultivars of this cross. Also lightly fragrant.
It is also a very small Cattleya, with S. coccinea figuring almost 1/4 of it's genetics, about 6 inches tall and small footprint. Great for windowsill!
