Blc. Hawaiian Treasure 'King's Crown'
 

Hi all - been a while since I've posted. Does anyone know the lineage of Blc. Hawaiian Treasure 'King's Crown'?

Thanks,

Tim

Sure!

The cross is Rlc. Memoria Max x Rlc. Waikiki Gold.
The cultivar 'King's Crown' received an HCC in 1993 with 76 points.

It is a beautiful plant: "sepals pale gold with striking dark gold flare extending from base to apex; petals ruffled at edges, pale gold, also with prominent dark gold flare entire length of midrib; lip pale gold with heavy infusion of darker gold under column, almost to the edge of frontal lobe; substance heavy; texture matte; soft lemony scent."

Anyone with a pic please post!

Thanks for the reply Eyebabe. It truly is a beautiful bloom! The reason I asked this is because I have one that is on the rebound. I'm trying to determine the lighting requirements - I have gave it mid- to high lighting levels, and it just sits there. Attached is a pic of the one time it has bloomed.

Awesome pic!
In looking it up on the OrchidWiz, it states that the lighting requirement is high.
I have some catts just "sitting there" as well despite what I am SURE is adequate light.
My plan is to fertilize a bit more often over this spring/summer with a fertilizer higher in nitrogen followed by switching over to one higher in phosphates late summer/autumn.
Hopefully then next spring I can have ALL the little fellows blooming :biggrin:
