New Hybrid 10566 (Morm. Andreettae 'SVO' AM/AOS x Morm. badia 'Yellow')
10566
New Hybrid (Morm. Andreettae 'SVO' AM/AOS x Morm. badia 'Yellow')
Morm. andreettae has large, eye-catching coral-peach-colored flowers with strong upright inflorescences displaying 12 nicely arranged flowers well above the foliage. This is an impressive species with a unique flower color. Morm. badia is the easiest Mormodes species to grow and comes in several color forms ranging from yellow to orange to red. In this cross, Fred used a bright yellow color form with upright inflorescences carrying more than 30 well-arranged flowers. This is breeding for a hybrid with solid orange/yellow flowers, a new combination for this genus. These will have 24” long, straight upright inflorescences carrying 20 or more flowers, with 2-3 inflorescences per mature bulb. The reciprocal cross is offered as SVO 10627.
