Catasetum Memoria Dorothy Wells (Chuck Taylor 'SVO Sunshine' x Dentigrianum 'SVO Excellence')

Ctsm. Chuck Taylor (denticulatum x Portagee Star) was a match made in heaven, and this cross resulted in many great plants. 'SVO Sunshine' has the most beautiful yellow lip and has been a solid parent, giving rise to several nice crosses so far. Dentigrianum (denticulatum x tigrinum) was a breakthrough in mini-Catasetum breeding. What this primary hybrid lacks in genealogical complexity it makes up for in charm, with beautifully-formed flowers in white, uniformly spotted with burgundy, and a soft yellow lip with a dentate margin. Since both parents are mini-Catasetums, the plants will stay under 6” tall, produce 15 or more flowers per inflorescence, and bloom 2-3 times a season. Flower colors will be light yellow with varying degrees of spots, with lips in shades of yellow and red.
